More Than a Helping Hand

A cowboy. A cactus. And my eight-year-old daughter.

Bailey is eight, quirky, and has an extensive cactus collection. So when the biggest cowboy I've ever seen sits on one of her prized specimens in the horse barn, he ends up on my exam table while I pluck spines out of his backside. Occupational hazard of being a nurse. And apparently of knowing my daughter.

My relationship history is two really big mistakes. I have zero plans to add a third. But Bailey—who hasn't voluntarily spoken to a man outside our family in years—takes one look at Anderson and calls him a giant. Then she talks to him.

I agree to date him on one condition: Bailey can't know. I won't let her get her hopes up. So we sneak out of town for an overnight trip.

There is only one bed.

Anderson is patient, persistent, and annoyingly wonderful. But some people (me) just aren't built to be loved like that. He disagrees. Loudly.

Keeping secrets in a small town isn't always easy. Convincing me I'm worth fighting for might be harder.

More Than a Helping Hand is a sweet, closed-door romantic comedy about a nurse who stopped believing she was worth loving, a cowboy who disagreed, and an eight-year-old with a cactus collection who started the whole thing. Book seven in the Cowboys of Stargazer Springs series.
