The last thing he wanted was a home on the range! Rancher Gabe Tanner was content to ride herd on bachelorhood forever. And if it hadn't been for that blasted bachelor tax, he would have. Even if every glimpse he had of Rosemary Gibson, the preacher's daughter, warned him he didn't have a prayer of remaining single! Life's usual dreams—love, home, children—would always elude Rosemary Gibson, or so she thought. Until the day Providence mixed the devilish Gabriel Tanner, two angelic kids and one prim yet passionate parson's daughter into a most unusual ready-made family!

Sheriff Wes Tanner was wed to the law—until he met Angelena... A pregnant saloon singer with no memory of how she got that way. The shy beauty was in desperate need of a protector—and Tanner was convinced he was the man for the job. Now, if he could just convince Angelena! Though she somehow knew her name and that music was her life, Angelena had no idea where she came from, or what she was doing in Edgewood, Texas. With a baby on the way, Tanner's offer of marriage seemed like a godsend, but how could she let the handsome sheriff take on the responsibility for a past that she knew nothing about?
