Stepdad Surprise

This Fourth of July, there's all sorts of fireworks at River's End Ranch!  
 
A year ago, Jackie Novak looked into the eyes of her infant daughter and made the decision to run. She's spent months hiding at River's End Ranch, hoping and praying her violent ex won't track them down. There's certainly no space for romance in her life, not with sweet little Kalli Jo taking up all her love and attention.

But someone surprising is waiting for her to notice him.

Cooper Weston might be an all-American sweetheart, but he's had a crush on Jackie since he came back to the ranch to work near his family. She thinks they're just friends, but with a little effort on his part, he should be able to convince Jackie she's worthy of a real man's love.

With the Fourth of July celebrations heating up, it's looking like little Kalli might get a new stepdad... Until an unpleasant surprise threatens to ruin everything.
