Ten years ago Brett Bishop made a bad mistake...and paid the price. Now he's finally come back to the Nevada ranching land he loves. He's not asking forgiveness, only the chance to see his little girl--the child his brother is raising as his own. That's all he wants.

Except that's not all he gets when the new teacher moves to town. As if Claire Flynn didn't have enough on her hands with a school full of unruly kids, now she can't seem to leave him alone. But Brett won't let Claire help him reclaim a place in his family.

And he doesn't deserve the special place she's carving out for him in her heart.

Jeannie Watt always dreamed of being a writer, but, being a practical sort, she also completed a double major in geology and education. She wanted to write, but she also wanted to eat while she was doing it. Now she is able to use her background in both fields to write her Superromance novels.

She met her husband, also a geology student, while attending the University of Idaho. They moved to northern Nevada for a one-month geology job shortly after their marriage. One thing led to another and two decades later, they're still in Nevada with two grown children.

Jeannie lives in a nice little ranching community with her husband and many dogs, cats, horses and ponies. Her children are both attending college at a nearby university, studying civil engineering. She runs 10K races with her husband--mainly just to humor him, since he loves to run and she tolerates it.

Her other hobbies include reading, sewing, painting and buying hay.
