The dream she wants
The love she found
Lauren Shepherd has traded her hectic office job for a quiet life working on an elderly friend’s farm. Risking everything to move to Alaska might just be the perfect opportunity for her—if Lauren can convince handsome and fiercely protective Patrick O’Shea that she’s not swindling his grandmother. But when financial troubles threaten her dream, Lauren and Patrick unite in a hunt for a legendary treasure…only to discover something between them more precious than gold.

EXCERPT:
Spritz dragged her leg back and forth
across the straw and gave a sound that was halfway between a bleat and a human
groan. A blob appeared. “It’s coming,” Lauren whispered. Several groans later,
the blob slid onto the straw, wiggled, and a miniature hoof tore the sac away,
exposing a tiny black-and-white goat. It was like a magic trick.
Spritz curled her neck around to sniff the
baby, and then gave it a good lick across the nose, like any mom washing her
kid’s face. Gran handed Lauren a towel. “If it doesn’t upset her to have you
nearby, you can help her dry the kid.”
Lauren stepped inside the stall. She
stroked Spritz’s neck and then slipped over and wrapped the towel around the
new baby goat, all the while murmuring about what a good mother Spritz was. If
Patrick didn’t know better, he’d assume Lauren had done this dozens of times
before.
Spritz seemed to welcome the assistance.
In fact, Patrick could have sworn she was basking in the compliments about her
mothering abilities and her new baby’s beauty.
“It’s a girl,” Lauren announced, holding
up the white goat with dark speckles. “What shall we name her?”
“Are you sticking with the pastries
theme?” Gran asked.
“Why not? Chocolate Chip Cookie?”
“Chip for short,” Patrick declared.
One of the goats in the pen bleated,
presumably in approval. Spritz lurched to her feet and came to lick the baby in
Lauren’s lap. A few minutes later, she began groaning again. Before the day’s
official end, Chip, Pizzelle and Snickerdoodle crowded under their mother,
enjoying their first meal.
“Congratulations,” Gran told Lauren.
“You’ve just doubled the size of your herd.”
Lauren laughed. “I guess so.” Covered with
dirt and grime, Lauren brushed a strand of hair back from her cheek, leaving
behind a smear of something Patrick chose not to identify, but a proud smile
lit up her face, and her green eyes sparkled. “They look good, don’t they?”
“Beautiful,” Patrick agreed. “Absolutely
beautiful.”
