Jared — Ana Leigh

Spirited Kitty MacKenzie gets more than she bargained for with a handsome, stubborn loner and his two mischievous daughters...

A helping hand...and heart

It's high time Kitty MacKenzie started over, so the pretty, young widow accepts a position as governess to two adorable, is incorrigible, little girls. The real problem, though, is the twins' father. Tall, dark Jared Fraser is exasperating, demanding -- and so devilishly good-looking that he makes Kitty's heart pound faster each time he looks her way.

Jared could never trust another woman, not after being betrayed by the two-timing hussy who bore his children. But there's something different about Kitty. No female has ever stood up to him the way she does -- and her fire is heating Jared as well. Still, he determined to resist her. The twins, however, knows a perfect new mama when they see one -- and they'll do whatever it takes to hustle Kitty and Jared straight to the altar!
