When Cade Easton’s mom died in childbirth when he was 8, he stepped up. He became the caregiver, the responsible one. When his wife dumped him and left him with his adorable little boy, he stepped up. All his life is stepping up… until he needs a nanny for the summer and hurricane Willa comes to help.

Willy is a city girl through and through, but who’s also an accomplished rider. She never took care of a kid in her life, but her best friend gets her this gig. She doesn’t even need the money, she just needs something to do while her horse recuperates from an injury and her job as manager/bartender at her brother’s bar is on hold as the bar is going through a major renovation. She is… unexpected. A complete surprise. 

He’s the grumpiest single dad, she’s feisty.. and thirteen years younger. Life at the Wishing Well Ranch is about to get very complicated…

What sorcery is this?! I’m not exactly a fan of cowboy romances and this book just got my elusive 6-star rating! I love every single thing about it! Willa is the best friend you want to have, Cade is the man you want on your side and Luke is the coolest and most adorable kid. 

Not only do we fall for the main characters, but every single character in this book calls your attention. I’m sold, Ms. Silver – off to look for your entire backlist!
