A Stranger in the Family A Stranger in the Family

Publisher Description

He came for his son. He never expected her.


A sexy, intriguing stranger arrives unexpectedly at her Wyoming ranch, threatening the one thing Cambria protects more fiercely than her heart -- her family.



Bodie's discovery that he fathered a son 17 years ago starts a search that leads him to the warm and welcoming Weston family. But his response to one member of the family is far more than he ever expected. The sparks between him and Cambria are real ... and so is the danger to his hopes for their future if she finds out why he's really in Wyoming.



"It's one of those books that when you finish, you think, I'm definitely going to read that again and everything else this author has ever written!" - Live, Love, Write



Family is the core of the first book of this series, but family is not necessarily simple. As one reader review states, A Stranger in the Family "mixes love, family and complicated situations together. I could not put this book down."

Just okay

It was easy to get into the book and like the characters but it was hard to finish. It seemed like the plot moved VERY slowly from then beginning until 3 chapters or so from the end where it picked up the pace and had a slap-dash ending. By the end of it, I didn't care enough anyway I guess. Won't read the sequel.

A stranger in the family

Did not care much for the story.

Cara Rhae ,

Waste on time!

The characters had no connection at all. Boring, boring, boring. Kept wondering when the story was going to start
