But deploy her private-investigator skills to a find a wife for Morning Hawk’s greatgrandson? And move into his home to do so? Dang it! For years, virile Jess Logan had stirred feelings celibate Gwen wanted no part of. Once under Jess’s roof—and his amused masculine scrutiny—Gwen did her best to procure him a spouse. Or did she?
