For four years, widow Emily Hubbard has struggled to feed her six children while fighting off the advances of wealthy Pierce Keegan. Then handsome Theo Graham buys the property next to hers and builds a prosperous ranch. For a brief shining moment, she thinks Theo could be their savior. Until he snaps at her children and tells them to leave him alone.
Theodore Graham has entered the lottery seven times and never been called. He honestly can’t understand it. Added to that, the Hubbard children keep coming to his house to borrow things–a hammer, a box of nails, his swimming hole, a pound of bacon. He knows Emily is having a hard time, but he’s tired of having her kids bother him when he’s trying to work.
Two desperate people are about to become the answer to each other’s prayers. But first a grumpy neighbor is about to get a lesson in humility.
