Texas Rancher’s New Family 

A Match Made in Texas Tess Buckton returns to the Blue Thorn Ranch from Australia, badly needing Texas comfort.

But getting close enough to learn his secrets could mean exposing hers, and Tess isn’t ready for that-even if Cooper and his matchmaking daughter are just what her heart is yearning for.Blue Thorn Ranch: New Beginnings, Texas style
