Decker’s Daughter by Caroline Lee

Decker Cauldron’s life is going pretty well: he’s got a good job, he loves living on his family’s ancestral ranch, and he’s surrounded by brothers and cousins to support and tease. But his quiet nature hides a secret he’s only now sharing: He’s always wanted kids. Like, lots and lots of kids. Kids to teach, kids to worry about, kids to spoil and raise to be good adults.

But it’s not until Pops starts pressuring him to marry that he starts considering how to get those kids. He’s going to have to find a wife, isn’t he?

Bobbi Rae Diamon is struggling: her nursing salary covers rent and groceries for her and her six-year-old daughter, CJ, but there’s not a lot left over for fun. So when CJ is offered a chance to learn to ride at a local ranch, Bobbi jumps at the opportunity…only to discover the lesson is being offered by the most drop-dead gorgeous man she’s ever met.

But she learned her lesson long ago; she can’t go falling in love with Decker, no matter how sweet and caring this strong-but-silent cowboy might be. And she definitely can’t allow CJ to fall in love with him, because the little girl’s heart is even more fragile.

So it’s a good thing CJ has plans of her own, huh? If her mother is too stubborn to see reason, it’s up to this determined six-year-old to bring Bobbi and Decker together!
