A Family for Grayson

A cowboy who reads textbooks but can’t read people. A widow who reads everyone just to survive. They never saw each other coming.

Hunky cowboy, Grayson Lawton, has a master’s degree in genetics, an addiction to learning, and the social skills of a fencepost. He’s reopening the town’s abandoned fire station — if he can stop flattening traffic cones long enough to parkthe town’s ancient fire engine.

Bonnie Watson is the single mom who quietly runs Cobbler Cove while the mayor takes the credit. She hasn’t let anyone past her emotional walls in four years — and she’s not about to start with the silver-eyed cowboy who keeps showing up with lunch and answers to her seven-year-old’s endless questions.

Except Gray doesn’t just show up. He stays. He stays when her kids ambush him with science puzzles. He stays when the calving barn turns into a round-the-clock crisis. And he stays when he uncovers evidence suggesting the fire that killed her husband wasn’t an accident — and the only man she’s trusted in four years may be the one who lit the match.

Now the brainiest cowboy in Montana and the bravest woman in Cobbler Cove are partners in something far more dangerous than falling in love.


A clean, heartwarming cowboy romance with a nerdy firefighter in training, a strong single-mom heroine, her two insatiably curious kids, a small-town mystery, found family, and all the small-town charm your heart can hold.
