From a "fabulous new voice in romantic fiction" (NYT bestselling author Lael Miller): an arrogant cowboy meets a headstrong woman determined to take custody of his niece, only to realize that she may be the family he was always searching for.

There's not much that could rattle a cowboy like Reese St. James. But when his twin brother dies in a car accident, Reese is stunned to discover he has a six-month old niece, Sawyer. Wanting to make up for lost time, Reese heads down to Unforgiven, New Mexico, to bring her home. He doesn't plan on Sawyer's guardian giving him any trouble, but the intriguing, independent woman is turning out to be more than he bargained for.

Lorelei West had given up hope of having a family of her own until her sister's tragic death brought little Sawyer into her life. And now there's no way she's going to let Reese take her away. Lorelei knows hotshot, good-looking cowboys like him -- she's dated enough of them -- and she intends to stand her ground. Yet the more time Reese and Lorelei spend together, the harder it is to deny the attraction building between them. But opening their hearts to a baby is one thing -- can they also open their hearts to the possibility of a happily-ever-after?

"Readers will be taken with the beautifully written moments of heartache and happiness."― Publishers Weekly
 
Lorelei is stunned to find out that her sister died in a car accident and even more shocking that she had a baby. Now she's become care taker to the kid, little did she expect for the child's uncle Reese to show wanting to care for the child as well. Thinks are a bit shaky about how things are going to be handled with the child. Reese is well off and with enough money would try to take things into his hands, while  Lorelei is doing okay in her situation but isn't one to back down. 

So while the story has been wrote before this author still manages to make it her own with an interesting set of characters. I pretty much assumed Lorelei and Reese was going to get together but with the power shifts that were going on when it came to money things were obviously going to get complicated. Reese really could throw money at situations he wants fixed and while he was trying to do what he felt was right Lorelei wasn't feeling right about it. She was an strong willed independent women who wanted to make her own way towards things and earn them. I loved seeing Reese try when it came to the baby when it came to taking care of the child. I loved seeing the small town life and how everyone was there for eachother in time of need and supported one another. I loved seeing that romance between the two. Overall this was as a pretty enjoyable book.
