      A Season for Healing

      As Little Horn, Texas, prepares for Thanksgiving, Dr. Tyler Grainger tries to count his blessings. Returning to his family’s ranch brings bittersweet memories of the sister he lost. But one thing he can be grateful for is Eva Brooks, who’s just become the nanny for her cousin’s baby. Tyler is glad to offer advice, but when his late sister’s horse is stolen, Eva’s the one who helps him cope. Tyler’s past heartache urges him to ride off into the sunset—alone. Yet the holiday season offers hope that the good doctor may have finally found a woman to heal his heart.

      “Oh, what a cutie pie. He has his mommy’s chin,” the woman exclaimed.

      “And his daddy’s nose,” the other woman said. “You must be very proud.”

      Tyler blinked in confusion. They obviously thought he and Eva were the baby’s parents.

      Eva inhaled a sharp breath. Even in the darkness, Tyler could see her face flush beet red with mortification.

      “Oh, but we’re not… I mean, we aren’t…” Eva stammered.

      “What’s his name?” the first woman asked.

      “Cody,” Tyler supplied.

      “What a perfect name for a perfect baby.”

      The women smiled with admiration. When they moved on down the sidewalk, he finally exhaled. They were completely oblivious that their words had caused anyone any discomfort.

      He turned to Eva. For a flashing moment, he saw intense misery in her eyes.

      “Eva, are you okay?” he asked.

      “Yes, I was just thinking about…” She hesitated and gave a sad little laugh. “Oh, it’s nothing, really. Just ignore me.”

      But he knew. All the things she wasn’t saying, and he still knew it had something to do with her broken engagement and being left at the altar with no groom.
