| − | '''''For The Love Of A Family''' is a tender-hearted contemporary romance centered around two wounded souls. Cassandra is compassionate, caring to all those around her, and determined to have what she never felt she had: a happy family. Colton is an amazing father, devoted brother, and wonderful boss/friend. The delightful addition of Wolf and Willow open the reader’s eyes to a side of Colton and Cassandra that they keep hidden from each other. Big brother, Joe, will have readers falling in love with him all over again if they read Lost Lady and if they haven’t, run to get it now. This reader loves the Double H Ranch and all the unique, genuine people that live there and wishes she had an acre next door so she could visit whenever she wanted or maybe never leave. '''Leanne Karella''' is blessed with an outstanding ability to write a tremendous love story weaving in multiple characters and leaving the reader filled with the overwhelming sense they were right there beside them with each turn of the page. A must read!''

| − | The phone in the tack room rang at the same instant a beat up little Pacer drove into the yard. "Get that, would you, Joe?" Colton asked as he strode out of the barn toward the little car. Jeez, he didn't even know any of these things were still on the road.
| |
| − | A woman--ah hell!--a young woman stepped from the car. Couldn't that damn nanny service ever get it right?
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wolf and Willow came tearing around the side of the big house and ran right up to the woman. She smiled at the twins and ruffled Wolf's hair. "Is your mom or dad here?" he heard her say in a husky, sexier-than-sin voice.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Great. They hadn't even bothered telling her she was working for a man. Only a man. No woman around, definitely no mother for the twins. That's why she was needed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The woman looked up at the sound of his boot heels on the gravel. Her eyes were a startling, mossy green. Her smile would knock a lesser man to his knees.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Hi," she said softly. "I'm--"
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Over three hours late." Colton gave her his best scowl. Better she run off in fear now than having to throw her off the ranch later.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Her eyes widened and she glanced around as if searching for something.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "I'm Colton Harrison. This is Wolf and Willow," he said, placing and hand on each of their heads. They looked up at him and grinned. "They eat dinner at six. Bed time at nine. Not one minute later. No junk food. No candy. No--"
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Colton! You about ready? We're going to lose the light in the canyon if we don't get a move on."
| |
| − | | |
| − | Colton ground his molars. "I have to go. Make yourself at home. I should be back by midnight." He leaned down and kissed each of the children on the cheek.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "I..."
| |
| − | | |
| − | He turned on his heel and started back toward the barn to retrieve his horse. Billy was standing outside, holding Chiggar's reins.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Just what he needed! Another gorgeous woman who thinks she has what it takes to look after two very rambunctious five year olds. She'd be gone within the week, he'd bet the entire ranch on that.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Wait!"
| |
| − | | |
| − | He grabbed Chiggar's reins and mounted, then waited for her to run up to him. He groaned. Literally groaned. She was definitely the hottest one the nanny service had sent. She was about five-nine, all legs and curves. Her long auburn hair fell in waves over her shoulders.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Wait...Colton..." she sucked in her breath. It hadn't been that long of a jog across the yard. Great. That meant she was out of shape on top of being too damn young. Couldn't be over twenty-five. He did not need this right now. He had a cattle rustler to deal with.
| |
| − | | |
| − | "I need to introduce myself, I don't think--"
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Good. Start with that. Don't think. Just take care of the kids. I'm paying you a small mint to do it." He reined Chiggar around. "If you need anything, talk to Joe McIntyre. He's in the barn." With that, he spurred Chiggar and headed out of the yard for the north hills. He was going to catch those damn cattle thieves if it was the last thing he did.

| − | "Cole!" Joe shouted after him. "Phone from the nanny service!"
| |
| − | | |
| − | "Tell them to send someone else," he called over his shoulder. "Older!"
