Can’t blame people for not wanting to visit a ranch in November, but we need the income from the guests or we’ll have to tighten our belts.” “Looks like someone’s coming to stay,” Jake said to Ethan. Yes, we have openings for that time period.” She had moved to the small desk and computer off her kitchen space where she took bookings for the guest ranch and kept her accounts. He felt confident he wouldn’t regret marrying Hannah, if he could get her.Ĭould he get her? That was the real question. The timing was short but you only got so many chances in life to hitch your yoke to another person who not only attracted you physically but also stimulated your mind.

Could he take the two and create a winning hand out of them? A lifetime with the woman who’d tormented his dreams for weeks now? The real question was whether he could work with the cards life had dealt him. Jake studied the new hand he’d been dealt. Will a pregnancy scare unite Jake and Hannah in a common goal? Or will it drive them apart for good?Įthan was just dealing out the cards for the next round of play when the house phone rang and Autumn excused herself from the other table to answer it. She’s falling for Jake–hard–but Jake wants a traditional wife, not a career woman. Hannah’s beginning to think it’ll be hard to leave the ranch when her fourteen nights are over-even if she’s heading to veterinary school.

Jake can’t believe Hannah has agreed to move into his cabin, but now his brother Ned is stirring up trouble, trying to break them up before he can propose. What they get up to together is their business, but if Hannah misses a night, it’s bye-bye bison. But now Holt Matheson is threatening to kick Gladys off the ranch-or eat her!-unless Hannah spends fourteen consecutive nights with Jake. She’s grateful for Gladys’s temporary home on the Double Bar K-and for the chance it gives her to see Jake on a daily basis. Hannah Ashton loves the fifteen hundred pound bison she rescued from being the object of a trophy hunt. He’ll have to work fast to secure her hand in marriage before his time is up. Jake knows just the woman he wants–Hannah Ashton–but they haven’t even gone on a date, let alone been together long enough for him to propose. Now Holt has demanded that Jake find a wife-in the next thirty days. It’s bad enough the old man won’t step down and let him run things his own way. Jake Matheson loves everything about ranching the Double-Bar-K, except for his father’s controlling nature.
