Was the nanny from nowhere the key to unlocking his hardened heart-and creating a family filled with love...?' Badly neglected Riley; Griff's brother Jake and his wife Deirdre's child. When they were killed after Jake had too many drinks and ran into a telephone pole. Griff didn't want to give Riley up for adoption, because Riley was his nephew. But Griff didn't want to have anything to do with Riley because he was still hurt that his brother betrayed him. Jolie loved Riley at first sight. When she learned about Riley's background she was determined to heal the rift between the tiny innocent child and his quiet uncle.

I almost didn't buy this book because of a bad review in Romantic Times Magazine, but I'm glad I did! It was a great little story about a rancher who lives in Montana who is so hurt after his wife runs off with his brother that he can hardly be in the same room as his baby nephew, but his honor demands that he do the best he can with the orphaned child.He's desperate for help, so on the advice of a friend he hires a young woman who is stranded in Billings.She works hard to get the two of them together and ends up falling in love wi both of them.It's a very tender story with an exciting and wonderful ending.
A real keeper!
