Star Valley Series

Nicole is in the will to inherit her grandpa’s farm. Problem is, her grandfather stipulated she has to be married—or at least engaged. Derek feels like he’s a nobody, working a dead-end job as a ranch hand. When a beautiful girl steps out of a car while he’s mending fences in the middle of nowhere, and offers him the job of his dreams, how can he refuse? When she mentions something about him being her fake fiancé, he thinks she’s kidding.

Desperate for help raising his kids after his wife dies, Tom hires a live-in housekeeper sight unseen—only to open the door to Lacy Wilson, the girl who broke his heart seventeen years ago. She was his first love. The one who walked away. Now she’s back—broke, newly divorced, and needing this job as badly as he needs to fill it. Tom wants to send her packing, but he can’t afford to. So they strike a truce: she’ll stay in the apartment above his garage, cook, clean, and care for his kids... without stirring up the past.
