Parker: Rock Creek Ranch (The Parker Ranches, #3)

The last thing Parker Rankin expects the day of his father's funeral is for life to throw him another curveball--especially a red-headed, no-nonsense, curveball like Reba Morris. Parker expects life on Rock Creek Ranch to change. He is unsure how much his stepmother, Abby, has influenced his father's final wishes. Although Abby has been a part of his life for years, her goals for the ranch differ from his. All Parker wants is to continue his way of life--running the Montana ranch until the day he dies, just like his father. Having recently relocated to Montana, and living in a cabin near Rock Creek Ranch, Rebekah (Reba) Morris decides to do the neighborly thing and help at the Rankin home when everyone gathers after rancher John Rankin's funeral. With her late husband's passing of several months earlier on her mind, she knows how difficult it can be handling the small things, so she hopes the Rankins will be appreciative of her neighborly efforts. What Reba doesn't expect, however, is a glimpse into a cool and aloof--albeit sexy-- Montana rancher's personal life. A glimpse that both intrigues and stops her in her tracks. She came to Montana to heal and to focus on the next phase of her life. The last thing she wants is to fall in love.
