Cowboys of Cauldron Valley (Lee)

Cade Cauldron is good at worrying. It's what he does. That, and manage the nutrition of the racing horses on his family's ranch. He's devoted to making the place a continuing success, and like 80% of his worrying is about Cauldron Valley Ranch... Right up until his grandfather tells him and his brothers and cousins that it's time for them to marry. Then he's got a whole other pile of worries. Dr. Jami Boatright has made a career out of studying modern-day marriages of convenience, and her bestselling books on the subject have made her a common name when it comes to the psychology and anthropology of marriage. But there's one thing lacking from her research...she's never actually been married, much less experienced a marriage of convenience. But when she arrives at the ranch, studying the latest Cauldron cousin's meeting-at-the-altar, Cade realizes she's exactly what he needs: A wife who will say yes for reasons of her own. A real-life modern marriage of convenience. But after the "I Do’s, real trouble starts, as they realize they don't know everything they thought they did about their new spouse. And even worse...these revelations don't seem to matter to their hearts, which keep forgetting this marriage has nothing to do with love. Or does it?

Decker Cauldron's life is going pretty well: he's got a good job, he loves living on his family's ancestral ranch, and he's surrounded by enough brothers and cousins to support and tease. But under his quiet nature hides a secret: He's always wanted kids…lots of kids. Kids to teach, kids to worry about, kids to spoil and raise into being respected adults. When Pops starts pressuring him to marry, his yearning for all those kids becomes even stronger. He's going to have to find a wife, isn't he? Bobbi Rae Diamon is struggling. Though her nursing salary covers rent and groceries for her and her six-year-old daughter, CJ, there's not a lot left over for much else. So when CJ is offered a chance to learn to ride at a local ranch for free, Bobbi jumps at the chance…only to discover the lesson is being offered by the most drop-dead gorgeous man she's ever met, Decker Cauldron. Bobbi learned a lesson of her own long ago: Falling in love with Decker, no matter how sweet and caring the strong-but-silent cowboy might be, would lead to disaster with heartbreaking consequences. And in no way could she allow CJ to fall in love with him, because the little girl's heart was even more fragile than Bobbi's own. But CJ has plans of her own. If her mother is too stubborn to see reason, then it's up to the determined six-year-old to bring Bobbi and Decker together herself!
