title: Bachelor Cowboy
author: Knoll, Patricia
description: First-time father!
  
  Sworn bachelor Luke Farraday's stubborn resistance to help or friendship--least of all from a woman--had been an infuriating puzzle to Shannon Kelleher since their first prickly meeting. Until Luke's sister left him temporarily in charge of his tiny baby nephew!
  
  To her amusement, the usually independent tough guy was helplessly out of his depth--and desperate for Shannon's assistance. As she taught the reluctant "father" to feed and change little Cody, Shannon noticed a change in Luke. His defenses were melting-just like her heart. And slowly his story began to emerge....
  
  MARRIAGE TIES: The four Kelleher women, bound together by family and love.
