Winds of Change
Can a grieving heart learn to live again with the unwanted help of family?
When Cordell Kennedy’s young wife dies, his life falls apart and he leans on family members to care for his daughter and maintain his focus on running the Double K Ranch. After a year of juggling fatherhood and work, he believes the time has finally come for him to hire a woman to care for his daughter and his home. Before he can enlist the help of his family to find an older, grandmotherly-type woman, he learns his family has already solved the matter for him when a beautiful young nanny unexpectedly shows up at his front door.
Mollie Sheffield lived most of her childhood in a New York City orphanage until the age of fourteen when the Fitzgerald family secured her services to act as a companion to their invalid daughter. When her charge passes, the Fitzgeralds allow her some time to find another position. Even though she would much rather stay in New York, it becomes apparent that her time has run out and she reluctantly accepts an offer to travel to Texas to care for a widower and his young daughter.
Now that Cordell and Mollie have been thrown together by the Kennedy clan, can Mollie fulfill her desire to become a mother and wife when she falls in love with a man who doesn’t believe he can share his heart again? And can Cord see past his pain to find the love in Mollie’s heart?
Book 2 in the Men of the Double K series.

I truly loved this story and the characters. It was a quick read and I didn't want it to end! I felt as if I were right in the story with Cordell and Mollie and little Beth~ Beth grabbed Mollie's heart almost instantly. Cordell didn't want another relationship after losing his first wife, but his family knew better what he needed. Mollie arrived to care for Beth and be a housekeeper for Cordell, but things between them grew, even though they didn't have a clue how the other felt. The Kennedy family stands up for each other and always has the other's back. I know you will enjoy this book!
