"I have an idea. It's a little insane, but it solves a lot of problems."
Gunner Bridge has never had much of a social life. He's never even been on a date. His whole life has been working the ranch, and he's done such a good job of it that now he has to hire on some ranch hands. But Gunner isn't much of a homemaker, either. These guys expect a clean place to sleep and food on the table.
Nova Silvernail has just lost her mother and is desperate to take care of her three orphaned siblings, but she doesn't exactly have a maternal resume. She's unemployed and lives in a van so she can follow her favorite folk band around the country. She needs to find a place for these kids to live, a job to provide for them, and a way to convince the judgy CPS lady that she can take care of them.
It all seems so hopeless until a practical stranger makes her an offer she doesn't want to refuse.
