To hell with being friends.
He ducked his head, then moved in to kiss the woman on her doorstep.
A fleeting kiss.He didn’t go for sexy or overpowering or anything beyond a sweet meeting of their lips for old times’ sake. Even so, the chaste kiss surprised him—how soft her lips were, how right they felt, how she hadn’t resisted, how kissing her opened a flood of tender feelings he’d kept tucked away.

Welcome to Cattleman Bluff, Wyoming!
When I first mentioned to my editor that Iâd like to write about cowboy doctors, to be honest I expected a giggle. Instead I found support and enthusiasm for Trevor and Cole, the Montgomery brothers of Wyoming.
In Book One, Hot-Shot Doc, Secret Dad, Trevor literally gets the surprise of his life. Little does he know that the emphasis will be on âfamilyâ when he hires Julie Sterling, a nurse practitioner returning to her hometown after being away for thirteen years. Funny how life has a way of sometimes putting us exactly where we belong â¦
A freak accident introduced Cole to medicine. Heâs the hero in Book Two, Father for Her Newborn Baby. When Cole has to step down from his highly respected position as a cardiology specialist and return to do country medicine for a while heâs paired with Lizzie Silva, a ârough around the edgesâ doctor from the streets of Boston. She comes with extra baggage ⦠in the way of a tiny baby! Can things get any more complicated?
Iâm proud to mention that this story is my twentieth book for Harlequin Mills & Boon>®. I was thrilled to write two stories set in the gorgeous state of Wyoming, a place I love and canât wait to visit again. Plus, I got to write about not one but two weddings! I hope you enjoy the Cowboys, Doctors ⦠Daddies duet as much as I enjoyed writing Trevor, Julie, Cole and Lizzieâs stories.
Happy trails!

LYNNE MARSHALL used to worry that she had a serious problem with daydreamingâthen she discovered she was supposed to write those stories! A late bloomer, Lynne came to fiction writing after her children were nearly grown. Now she battles the empty nest by writing stories which always include a romance, sometimes medicine, a dose of mirth, or both, but always stories from her heart. She is a Southern California native, a woman of faith, a dog-lover and a curious traveller.
This book is dedicated to the beautiful state of Wyoming.
With special thanks to Flo Nicoll for letting me write the Montgomery brothersâ stories.

Dedication
JULIE WAITED TO FACE the guy whoâd knocked her up thirteen years ago.
âMs. Sterling?â The young and attractive medical clinic receptionist called her name as if it were a crowded waiting room.
Julie was the only one sitting there, being that it was almost lunchtime. âYes?â
âDr. Montgomery will be with you as soon as he finishes with his last patient. He apologizes for running late. The appointment turned out to be a little more involved than expected.â
âThanks for letting me know.â Julieâs nerves were twisted to the point of breaking anyway over the thought of facing the man whoâd once changed the entire course of her life. Now sheâd get to balance on this tightrope over the roiling anxiety a while longer. Oh, joy.
Her goal was to not let on how desperate she was for the job. But how would she control these butterflies over facing him again after all these years? Short answer, she had to. Sheâd do whatever was necessary to get this job. Anything for her son.
What was that old saying about how you could never go home again? Well, Cattleman Bluff, Wyoming, population twenty thousand, was the last place in the world Julie had expected to wind up. Her parents had bought her a ticket on a one-way train out of town when sheâd barely been eighteen.
Now here she was applying for a job with a man she never, ever wanted to see again for a dozen different reasons that all boiled down to one in particular. But as a single mother, sheâd do whatever it took to make a better life for her son, James. Twelve years old, with thirteen breathing down his neck come May, all hormones and bad choices, and already getting into trouble back in Los Angeles. James needed strong men in his life to set him straight, and the military school in Laramie seemed the best place for now.
