 Love was the last thing on this untamed cowboy’s mind…until she stole his heart away.

Cleo Delaney will do anything to keep her promise and raise her best friend’s sons—even if it means telling a little white lie to the state to keep them. So Cleo turns to the only person she can trust to help her—her first love, Judd Laramie. If he fosters the three young brothers in name only, she’ll do all the heavy lifting. It’s a foolproof plan…but she never imagined that the feelings they once shared would return. With a vengeance.

Texas deputy Judd Laramie is stunned by Cleo’s request. Being a dad—even on paper—is the last thing this cowboy needs right now. But no one knows better than Judd how flawed the foster system is and how much these brothers need Cleo’s protective love. What starts as a simple lie becomes so much more, and soon it’s clear Judd needs Cleo and the family they’ve created as much as they need him. Now he’ll do whatever it takes to win Cleo’s heart and claim the future they all deserve.

Cleo's best friend past away leaving her son's in her care. Thing is the unfit grandmother is putting up a fuss. Cleo also hasn't had the best past and has a criminal record from when she was young. So she turned to deputy Judd who had a similar past with foster care and see if he can care for the boy in name only because shed be doing the work. But the grandmother is looking for ways to discredit the two and get her grandchildren at whatever means necessary.

I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting seeing the lengths that Cleo would go to to make sure the boys where in her care. Shes not above asking for help and she really trusted Judd. Judd has his own issues with the bottle and really doesn't need this stress but will also do everything he can to help Cleo and make sure these boy's stay together because in foster care they take the risk of being separated and these two know what its like. I loved seeing the romance and there was plenty of steamy scenes. I loved that there was plenty of drama going on to keep things interesting as well because that grandmother wasn't' going to go away without a fight. Overall it was a pretty good book I really enjoyed it.
