Home Fires

Welcome to the Lazy Windmill, where guests find that life is what you make it, love is priceless, and family is determined by far more than DNA.

Casie Carmichael¿s accidental dude ranch is well on its way, but the residents of her Hope Springs haven are running wild. With an unwed mother-to-be, a turbulent teen romance, and a bronc-riding grandmother to contend with, the last thing Casie has time for is a romantic relationship. But convincing recently returned Colt Dickenson she¿s not interested in him¿or the confusion he causes her¿is easier said than done.

Yet as Casie¿s ragtag crew saddles up to help with everything from birthing babies to legal woes, she finally begins to see that family wears many faces¿and being independent isn¿t the same as being alone.
