      Gabriel Morgan has been lured home to Union Junction, Texas, by a father who claims he's not trying to match his ornery son with a ready–made family. Gabriel has his commitment radar up so when he lays eyes on the widow Laura Adams and her sweet children, he's not prepared for visions of baby booties dancing in his head! Laura finds it absolutely irresistible that Gabriel has fallen for her little girl and baby boy. But his "proposal" to marry her and take care of them all for one year smells too much like convenience and not enough like the love she's looking for. Does being a good mother mean putting her children first? What Laura doesn't know yet is that her kids aren't the only ones Gabriel's falling for.

      Welcome Home, Cowboy As head of guest services at Bear Creek Ranch, it's Natalie Forrester's job to make everyone feel welcome. But from the moment they meet, it's former rodeo champion Aaron Reyes who makes her feel special. The widowed cowboy may be kicking up some dust with his former in–laws, but he's all warmth and tenderness when it comes to Natalie and her infant daughter. Aaron wasn't expecting the folks at Bear Creek to roll out the welcome mat for him. And he certainly didn't intend to fall for the caring single mother and her irresistible baby. He'd planned to skip town as soon as he took care of family business. But how can he leave with Natalie making him feel this is where he belongs that he's finally come home?
