On The Whispering Wind (Silhouette #23)(Family series)

Widower Mackenzie Harrow had only one plan, to close down his Whispering Wind dude ranch. Mac blamed himself and the ranch for the death of his wife. Mac firmly believed that the best thing to do was to get himself and his daughter away from the ranch into a nice house in the suburbs. Only Mac's daughter Elizabeth did not want to leave the ranch. Through a lot of pleading and scheming on her part she managed to plan it so that another widower and her son wound up being guests at the ranch. Maggie Connor wanted two weeks at a dude ranch for her and her son. She heard of the ranch when one afternoon over a year ago Maggie managed to help Elizabeth and her grandparents, and in return Elizabeth told her about her dad's ranch. Maggie never thought that she would be so unwelcome once she got there. If it were not for the storm outside Maggie would have gladly left the ranch. Mac was out right nasty to Maggie and the last thing she wanted to do was stay where she was not wanted. Mac did not know why he was so hostile to Maggie. He did know that he did not want any more guests at the ranch, especially this woman who stirs things in him that he would rather she did not. All Elizabeth wanted was for Maggie to help her dad be happy again. If her dad were happy than maybe he would not sell their ranch. However, unless Mac tries to put the past behind him than he does not stand a chance at a future.
