Two damaged hearts - and one sweet baby to bring them together.
When rancher Wyatt Black discovers an abandoned baby on his doorstep, he needs help ASAP - and finds it in his next-door neighbor, Ellie. There's no way he's capable of caring for the newborn on his own, and his rough childhood has left him doubting he'll ever be father material. But as little Darcy starts to wrap him around her little finger, and Ellie turns his bachelor's quarters into a family home, he wonders if he's been wrong all along.
Elli Marchuk has been grieving in private for the life she's lost - her baby, her marriage, even her job. When the grouchy rancher next door asks for her help, she's hesitant. But an innocent child needs her, so she puts her personal misgivings aside. Helping Wyatt with Darcy starts to heal all the broken parts of her heart, especially when she and Wyatt develop tender feelings for each other.
But Darcy will only be with them for a short time. And Elli isn't at all sure she's ready to take a second chance on love, even with a man as strong and sure as Wyatt...

Love Unscheduled
Liam Carter has it all-billion-dollar tech empire, international fame, and the world at his feet. But after a heartbreaking loss leaves him a single father, the only thing he truly cares about is his four-year-old daughter, Sophie. Retreating from the spotlight to a quiet suburban neighborhood, Liam expects peace, privacy, and zero complications. What he doesn't expect is her. Emily Rivera is the warm-hearted, no-nonsense nanny who just moved in next door. She's used to wrangling kids, not navigating the complicated world of celebrity neighbors. But when a chance encounter turns into an unexpected friendship, Emily finds herself drawn to the man behind the headlines-the exhausted father, the lonely heart, the guarded soul. He's her opposite in every way: wealthy, high-profile, emotionally closed-off. She's grounded, ordinary, and has no interest in dating anyone-especially not her neighbor. But between shared cups of coffee, late-night talks across the fence, and Sophie's growing attachment to Emily, something undeniable begins to grow. And when the world comes knocking again, Liam will have to choose: keep hiding behind his carefully built walls-or open his heart to the one person he never saw coming.Complete
