Unexpected Father
The pretty redhead Seth Halloway pulls from a derailed train has surprising news for him. The children she’s accompanied to Cowboy Creek aren’t hers—they’re his, thanks to the last wishes of a late friend. Busy rancher Seth must suddenly cope with three rambunctious boys...and try to ignore his growing feelings for independent Marigold Brewster.
Marigold hopes to start over as the town’s new schoolteacher. She’ll choose her own path, and stay aloof from the adorable Radner boys—and their guardian. But the man who rescued her from a wrecked railcar might just be the one to save her from loneliness...if she dares to let him in.
CHERYL ST.JOHN’s love for reading started as a child. She wrote her own stories, designed covers and stapled them into books. She credits many hours of creating scenarios for her paper dolls and Barbies as the start of her fascination with fictional characters. Cheryl loves hearing from readers.

“I’m glad you and your boys are all right.”
“Well, that’s the thing...”
“What’s the thing?”
“They’re not my boys.”
“They’re not?”
“I never saw them before I boarded the train headed for Kansas.”
“Well, then—”
“They’re yours.”
Had he taken a blow to the head, as well? “I assure you I’d know if I had children.”
“Well, as soon as you read this letter, along with a copy of a will, you’ll know.”
At the sound of paper unfolding, he opened his eyes. “What are you talking about?”
“It seems a friend of yours by the name of
Tessa Radner wanted you to take her children upon her death.”

Getting reacquainted with all the wonderful characters from the previous Cowboy Creek series and once again working with fellow authors Sherri Shackelford and Karen Kirst was great fun. If you haven’t read the entire series, I hope you’ll look for previous books and enjoy them as well.
Seth and Marigold were interesting characters to develop. Marigold is a resilient, determined young lady who is hungry for love, but afraid to risk it. Seth is a hardworking, responsible rancher who doesn’t have time in his life for an injury, a schoolteacher with a pet cat, or three challenging kids who need a lot of love and attention.
When they’re thrust together, this couple has a lot to learn about
