Our House — Debra Cowan

FOR THE SAKE OF A FAMILY ...

ABBY
A dedicated doctor, she fought to be accepted in a man's world -- and came to Texas after a broken marriage engagement...

JEFF
The gunslinger came home to care for his orphaned nieces -- and ran smack into a headstrong lady doctor who'd already laid claim to them...

Since her friend Jilly died, Abby had lovingly cared for Jilly's girls; now Jeff wanted to take them away from her. But Jilly had one last wish -- for Jeff and Abby to be married, to be real parents to the girls. The arrangement did fulfill Abby's wish for a family -- but she had dreamed of true love, not playing house with an irresponsible, prairie-roughened gunman. Yet Abby and Jeff were already bound by the love of two young ones who needed them. Now maybe time would bring them closer still -- as they make a special place to call home...

Hero: Jefferson (Jeff) Grant
