Cowboy's Challenge — Susan Laine

Simon Westfield is the owner of a stud farm in Wyoming. He's recently lost his brother in the army, and has become the guardian of two young children, Dale and Allie. After a while, it's clear he needs help. Enter Tristan Markham, a professional live-in male nanny, or manny. Though great with kids, Tristan is as strong-willed as Simon, and their points of view on everything are polar opposites. Where Simon is closeted, reserved, and introverted, Tristan is an out and proud liberal pacifist. Clashes are inevitable. But they can't deny their growing attraction, so a deal is struck. Casual sex only. But when things start to go wrong-Simon's mother dying of cancer, the kids' grandparents suing for custody, and Simon being thrust out of the closet-it's time for them to work together, or lose everything they have. Because despite their differences, they are a family. And families stick together-no matter what.
