Start with The Lawmans Promise. Between running his family's bar, volunteer firefighting and becoming guardian of his late best friend's son, Shay Barnaby barely has time to sleep. Thank goodness for Carli Walsh, the administrator at Luca's school. Carli finds herself helping the grieving little boy adjust to his new world--and marveling at how quickly the three of them feel like a family. But after a previous marriage built on lies, Carli needs the real thing. Can Shay prove he's not just looking for a substitute mother to Luca but a love that lasts a lifetime?
