About this audiobook
Gruff rancher Luke's new live-in housekeeper comes with an unexpected addition… a small son! Emily may be a pretty single mum but a family's not on this bachelor's wish list. Yet, slowly charmed by Emily and Sam, Luke begins to wonder if there might be room on his ranch - and in his heart - for a family after all…
