The Rancher Who Took Her In

2014

A runaway bride. A single-dad rancher. Who said opposites don't attract? Perhaps applying to a Help Wanted ad in her wedding gown wasn't the best way to make a first impression on a job interview! But Kate Scott needed to escape the humiliation of her hastily called-off wedding. Cabot Dixon's Montana ranch, if not the most welcoming place in the West, seemed like the perfect place to keep a low profile. Cabot was a rancher—not a couples' counselor! — and his past experiences with women (plus the dusty wedding dress) told him Kate was a runner. So when his young son, Tyler, attached himself to Kate and made not-so-subtle hints about wanting her as his mom, the single dad wondered what he'd opened himself up to... especially when he realized that he'd do anything to have the runaway bride by his side for keeps!
