Vella
Cupids & Cowboys, Book Three
Her goals go awry when she learns three orphaned siblings are hiding in town. Not only are they stealing to survive, but certain men want to separate and adopt them out for cash. The kids must be found and protected.
Dare she go to the new Marshal, Baird McKiernan, or would his lawman’s ethics force him to do the legal thing and return the children to the orphan train they escaped from? Afraid to put it to the test, she goes it alone.
But there’s more to Baird McKiernan than Vella knows. Forced to be a lawman instead of following his dream of becoming a doctor, Baird can relate to the children’s plight and wants to help—if only he can convince Vella to trust him. He likes that she’s different from other young women and respects her intelligence. Vella is drawn to his kindness and gentle touch.
The orphans, Dewey, Jess and Nedra, have plans of their own. They want parents who will take all three of them, and Baird McKiernan and Vella Givens are the couple they choose. Now, they must get them together long enough to fall in love.

* * * * * Beautiful story! “I thoroughly enjoyed reading Vella’s grown up story. I first met her in the Bachelor’s and Babies series, so I looked forward to seeing how her life turned out as an adult. I was not disappointed. Her story, along with her family members, the orphans and the Marshal kept me reading to see what was going to happen next. It’s a beautiful story to read and I highly recommend it.” ~ Bear Reader
