All housekeeper Felicia Markowski wanted was the baby she thought she could never have. But the unexpected prediction from a carnival fortune-teller gave her a sense of hope she'd lost long ago — and led her straight into the arms of cattle wrangler Jackson North.

Felicia believed the rugged loner-next-door was the man who would give her the child she so desired. But Jackson was hiding a painful past, and though he found solace in Felicia's embrace, he was afraid to take a chance on a new life. To make her dreams come true, Felicia had to help the man she loved face the truth — and heal his shattered heart.
