After spending another family wedding fielding questions about her nonexistent love life, Kelsey Noble decides she's tired of waiting around for things she could go out and get herself. What Kelsey wants is a baby, and she doesn't see any point in waiting for a husband she's not even sure she wants. But a mistake at the fertility clinic lands her with a hassle she didn't count on - a big, muscular hassle in a Stetson and cowboy boots. Cole Mitchell is shocked to discover that a grand gesture from years past has come back to haunt him. Now, thanks to a clerical error, a woman he's never met is having his baby - and there's no way he's going to walk away and forget he has a child. Trying to make nice with the unexpected father of her baby lands Kelsey in Silver Creek, Oregon, dealing with the kind of small-town life she left behind years ago. Even worse is dealing with the burning attraction she feels for Cole. She knows adding romance to the mix is a very bad idea, but she's not sure how long she can resist falling for the last man she ever expected....
