Grumpy Cowboy & Sunshine Nanny

She's all sunshine and smiles. He's a grumpy cowboy with a broken heart. But when a little girl needs them both, sparks fly... Cole Bennett swore off love the day his wife died, leaving him a single dad to shy six-year-old Lila on their struggling Montana ranch. Gruff, guarded, and buried in chores, the last thing he needs is a perky city nanny turning his quiet world upside down. Annie Lawson is running from burnout and bad memories.
A live-in nanny gig in small-town Whispering Creek sounds perfect-until she meets her scowling new boss. Cole's all rough edges and brooding stares, but his daughter's dimpled smile? Irresistible. Soon, Annie's baking cobbler in his kitchen, mending fences by his side, and melting the ice around his heart. Storms bring them closer, festivals spark stolen dances, and late-night confessions under the stars make Cole wonder if he's ready to love again.
But when his late wife's parents threaten to upend their fragile family, Cole must choose: hide behind his walls forever, or lasso the sunshine he can't live without. Tropes you'll love: Grumpy/sunshine Single dad cowboy Small-town slow burn Found family Forced proximity Perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Elsie Silver, and Devney Perry. 80, 000 words of flannel-fueled banter, heartfelt healing, and a happily-ever-after that'll make you swoon.
