This was a great story. Who doesn't love a story about true love? I really enjoy a story when a couple of wounded people overcome the obstacles that have kept them apart. The addition of children to any story adds another point of view and in this case, smiles and laughter.

One of the Calvert Cousins: Zach, the sherrif of his small town, likes his life simple. He's glad to live near his four-year old daughter. He doesn't like to think about the three years of his life that have simply disappeared until the beautiful Olivia comes to town with a five year old son she claims is Zach. Zach can't deny the boy, but will he be able to deny the growing attraction between Olivia and himself? Romance world-- of course not, but I like the Calvert cousins and the interesting complication with Zach and Olivia...

Six years later a news broadcast includes a picture of Zach, who is now a small town sheriff.
