Bachelors & Babies

No bachelor could be prepared for what happens to the Givens brothers one stormy night in 1876. Finding a pregnant woman on their road, they take her in. Before they can learn anything about her, she gives birth to triplets and disappears. Luckily, the doctor supplies a much-needed wet-nurse - Cynara, a recent widow who lost her baby. Her sad eyes and gentle acceptance awaken something in Barclay's staid soul. But she's not ready for a new man in her life. She'll stay at the ranch and tend the babies, but that's all.

Jared Givens rides into town to invite his best gal on a picnic. Before he can get there, he's summoned to the hotel where a young woman he'd never seen before awaits him. A young woman claiming to be his wife. Ruth Healy Kimbrough heard something she shouldn't have. Now, she's on the run. Her ex-fiancé wants her silenced forever. Her sister is married to Jared's brother Barclay, so she travels to Montana seeking help and a place to disappear.

Chase Givens never expected to see the ragged girl Minnie again, after she gave birth to triplets at High Mountain Ranch and promptly disappeared three years ago. Now, single and lonely, he sows his wild oats by holding a horse race through the center of town. Nothing new, but this time, Chase nearly runs down a young woman. Horrified, he runs to help her, intrigued and curious about this vaguely familiar stranger.
