Double Trouble
Rancher Gabe Everett will do whatever it takes to keep Avery Culpepper in Texas until the end of the month. Even if it means inviting the beautiful single mom and her mischievous twin girls to stay on his property. Avery holds the key to saving Haven’s boys ranch, but Gabe won’t let his interest go beyond business. He’s not a family man, and Avery needs someone who will be there for her and her daughters. Yet as the girls overrun his orderly ranch with their tea parties and girlie cuteness, Gabe finds himself softening just a little. Could a family to love be exactly what this solitary rancher needs?
“I know I’m gruff with them most of the time…”
Gabe cleared his throat. “And they are all kinds of noisy, but...I have to say... Well, the little pink things have grown on me.”
Once he had spoken the first words, it seemed as if Gabe must spit them all out before he came to his senses. “They steal my time, they invade my study, they run down my hallways, and yet I went crazy thinking about Debbie being hurt. And still, I know the minute she can, Debbie will be right back out on that swing fixing to break the other arm.” He looked up at Avery as though she were a puzzle to solve. “How do you do it?”
Explain parenthood to a bachelor cowboy? She could gather every word in Texas and still not have enough. “You just...do.”
Gabe was trying so hard not to care.
He was failing at it, and in a way that stole her heart no matter what she deemed best for her or the girls.

ALLIE PLEITER, an award-winning author and RITA® Award finalist, writes both fiction and nonfiction. Her passion for knitting shows up in many of her books and all over her life. Entirely too fond of French macarons and lemon meringue pie, Allie spends her days writing books and avoiding housework.

Just when we think we’ve got our plans worked out, God goes ahead and throws a huge wrench into them. That’s always for the best, but we rarely see it that way at the time. Gabe thinks he is incapable of the kind of love Avery and her girls need, but the truth is he is more than capable when he breaks the shackles of his past. Avery thinks her heart can’t trust the speed at which it awakens to Gabe, but it’s God’s perfect timing in a place she’d never expect.

Rejoice before Him—His name is the Lord. A father to the fatherless…is God in His holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, He leads out the prisoners with singing.
