Yet a boardinghouse is no place for a newborn. Enter Jonas MacLaren - a handsome, exasperating rancher with an offer too good to refuse. Jonas can handle running a ranch - but handling his cantankerous mother is another matter.
Maude matches his mother's stubbornness so she'll be a perfect live-in companion. But she's there for his mother, not for him. He'll just have to keep his wounded heart closed to her beauty, her humor, her warmth and strength - and her irresistibly adorable baby.
