The Cowboy and the Baby

Cade was supposed to inherit Iron Creek Ranch alone.

No complications.

No surprises.

No strangers showing up on his land with a baby and tearstained cheeks he cannot resist.

Then Noelle arrives exhausted, determined, and holding a newborn baby that is not hers—but one she is willing to fight for anyway. She needs a safe place to land, just for a little while, and her grandfather’s old ranch seems like the perfect place to catch her breath.

Cade does not ask questions.

He just opens the door.

But when they discover something neither of them expected—they both have a claim to Iron Creek Ranch—“just staying for a little while” suddenly is not simple at all.

Now Cade and Noelle are living under the same roof, sharing the same land, and trying very hard not to notice how quickly everything between them is changing.

The more Cade steps in with his quiet, steady calm, the more Noelle starts to wonder if Iron Creek Ranch is not just a stop along the way.

Maybe it is the home she has been searching for all along.

THE COWBOY AND THE BABY is book 1 in the Iron Creek Ranch Series by Katie J. Cross, a clean contemporary romance series set in small-town Wyoming. This sweet, high-yearning cowboy romance features opposites attract, forced proximity, hidden family secrets, a protective hero, slow-burn kisses, found family, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
