Elizabeth's Hero - Contemporary Series, Book 1 (Silver Springs Contemporary)

When a shocking accident takes the life of her best friend, Elizabeth Nelson flies to the rescue of the orphaned children, carrying a letter that grants her custody. Her friend’s brother-in-law, gruff rancher Jack Summers, is already there, organizing the funeral and planning to take the children back to Montana. With separate legal claims and a concerned social worker looking on, the two strangers desperately search for a way to keep the children together. Their solution: Marriage. Elizabeth is willing to set aside her dull, empty life, in the hopes of having a family. Jack will do whatever it takes to ensure his ranch eventually passes to his brother’s children. Will they find love in the bargain?

As they settle into their new lives, Jack and Elizabeth discover a mutual attraction. But will they recognize the love that’s grown between them before another tragedy strikes?
