Stand-In Texas Dad Book Cover Enlarge Book Cover
His heart was closed to love… 

But could a single mom and her triplets pry it open? 

Pediatrician Zach McCabe is Laramie’s very own Sir Galahad—with cardiologist Claire Lowell being the latest damsel on his to-rescue list. Even so, after losing his fiancée in a car crash, Zach has sworn off love. And maintaining his emotional distance from the elegant single mom may be tougher than wrangling her adorable three-year-old triplets. 

Claire refuses to rely on anyone, but resting her burdens on Zach’s broad shoulders is a dangerous temptation. When her nanny leaves her in the lurch and Zach is evicted from his place, the two find a way to help each other—and grow closer. Can Zach move past his grief for a second chance at love…and an instant family?
