Sheriff Noah Wheeler of Pritchett County, Arkansas, decided long ago that commitment isn't his style—and there are at least seventeen local women ready to agree with him! But when he finds himself at the side of the highway with Cassie Tremont, a woman about to deliver twins, his whole world shifts. Suddenly all Noah wants is to protect this vulnerable redhead and her new family. But Cassie was badly hurt by a double-dealing husband and she's vowed to raise her twin daughters alone. Now the sheriff has become her guardian angel—and she's no longer so sure about that decision.... Especially when he seems to think the four of them are already a family!
