Between the Reins — Liz Isaacson

A former country music star, his nanny, and their chance to be a family... Twelve years ago, Owen Carr left Gold Valley -- and his long-time girlfriend -- in favor of a country music career in Nashville. With one platinum album and a number one hit single under his belt, he returned after things went wrong with his manager and his record label. When he suddenly becomes a father to his eight-year-old niece, he's in way over his head. He needs a nanny to care for Marie so he can keep up with the demands of his busy job at Silver Creek -- and Natalie Ringold is a godsend. She can cook, she cleans, Marie loves her -- and she just so happens to be the long-time girlfriend that Owen hasn't made amends with. Yet.  Married and divorced, Natalie teaches ballet at the dance studio in Gold Valley, but she never auditioned for the professional company the way she dreamed of doing. With Owen back, she realizes all the opportunities she missed out on when he left all those years ago -- including a future with him. Can they mend broken bridges in order to have a second chance at love?
