The cowboy's adopted daughter

the long version

"Alex Casali cut ties with his roots long ago. Now he's a Texas cowboy. But even a Stetson can't disguise the Italian fire in his eyes. Hired to run a quilting course at the A Bar A Ranch, Allie is appalled when a brooding cowboy accuses her of trespassing. Manners make a man, and strong single mum Allie wants nothing to do with arrogant Mr. Casali. Until her little daughter utters her first words in a year to him. Perhaps there's more behind those smoldering grey eyes than Allie first thought?"--Publisher description.
