In this fun and sexy new series debut from New York Times bestselling author Kate Pearce, a real cowboy doesn't back down from a challenge—even when an unexpected arrival shakes up his world . . .
When an old military buddy turns up at the ranch he shares with two friends, Noah Harding never imagines the friend will skip out overnight and leave his baby boy behind. Noah will have some choice parenting advice to offer when the baby's mother turns up, but until then, he'll do his best to take care of the little one. Yet when a relieved Jen finally tracks down her son, Noah realizes the story is more complicated than he thought. And soon, so are his feelings for Jen . . .
Jen Rossi doesn't expect much from her unreliable ex, but she's shocked to return from an extended mission and discover he's abandoned their son with three men she doesn't know. Not that Noah isn't doing a good job as fill-in daddy. In fact, there seems to be very little the straight-talking cowboy can't do. And with a winter storm settling in, and close quarters making it impossible to deny their chemistry, this temporary solution might just become the key to forever . . .

Bestseller Pearce (Romancing the Rancher) launches a new series with a cute contemporary romance inspired by Three Men and a Baby. Marine Jen Rossi relies on her flaky ex-boyfriend Dave to take care of their one-year-old son, Sky, while she is away on active duty. But when Jen is delayed in her return, she learns that an impatient Dave abandoned Sky on a ranch in the Redwoods with military buddies she’s never met. When she goes to retrieve him, she winds up stranded with the three marines-turned-cowboys, including handsome but taciturn Noah, who has bonded with Sky and is initially judgmental about Jen’s parenting. Jen is attracted to Noah but refuses to make another romantic mistake, while Noah lusts after Jen but grew up with the responsibility for a large family and wants to avoid entanglements. They agree on a no-strings-attached fling, but that’s not all that either really wants, and it will take all the cowboys together to work out a satisfying conclusion. Disillusioned Jen makes a refreshing heroine, but readers will need a high tolerance for grouchiness to understand Jen’s choice in men (especially as there are two other equally strapping cowboys right there). Still, the domestic comedy and steamy sex scenes set this apart. Cowboy romance fans will be charmed. -

Inspired by the movie Three Men and a Baby, this new series from Pearce (Romancing the Rancher) features three former Marines, who leave the military behind for life on a ranch. Jen Rossi has finished her naval tour aboard a floating hospital and has come to get her one-year-old son, Sky, from her ex, Dave. The only problem is that Sky is gone--to a ranch in the middle of the Plumas National Forest. Following him there, Jen is confronted by Dave's three friends, Luke, Noah, and Max, who are not happy that Dave has left Sky with them or that she has "abandoned" her son. Clearing up the confusion proves easier than fighting the increasing attraction that continues to build between Noah and Jen. Being stranded together in a snowstorm forces them to acknowledge the troublesome attraction that both can no longer deny. Confronted by the implications, Jen chooses her duty to her son and leaves the ranch and Noah behind, but maybe she can find a way to make Noah part of her life after all. VERDICT Primarily set on a cattle ranch, fans of Carolyn Brown will welcome this rustic treat with a bit of spice.--Judy Garner
