The Maverick's Promise

From the first snowy evening they meet, rancher Diego Sanchez is mesmerized by Jenna Lattimore. Too bad she's all kinds of wrong for him. A widowed single mom, Jenna believes she's not ready for another relationship--and may never be. And Diego knows he's not the kind of family man she and her baby daughter deserve, even as he can't help himself from being there for them, over and over. Time spent with Diego seems to melt the wall around Jenna's heart. With their vow to remain "just friends" doomed to failure, Jenna must find a way to convince the stubborn cowboy he's worthy of lasting love...
