The Rancher’s Surprise Triplets
Linda Ford

Three Little MatchmakersRancher Bo Stillwater has no plans of becoming a husband or a father…but he can’t turn away from the three babies he finds at the county fair. After leaving the abandoned triplets in the care of the doctor’s daughter, Louisa Clark, his duty should be done. So why can’t he seem to stay away from the babies and their pretty caregiver?Watching the town’s most eligible bachelor with the little trio reawakens Louisa’s unmet dreams. She’s found satisfaction in spinsterhood and caring for others, convinced that motherhood passed her by. Do she and Bo only work so well together for the children’s sakes…or could they both find courage to make this sweet temporary arrangement something truly lasting?

Three Little Matchmakers

Rancher Bo Stillwater has no plans of becoming a husband or a father...but he can’t turn away from the three babies he finds at the county fair. After leaving the abandoned triplets in the care of the doctor’s daughter, Louisa Clark, his duty should be done. So why can’t he seem to stay away from the babies and their pretty caregiver?

Watching the town’s most eligible bachelor with the little trio reawakens Louisa’s unmet dreams. She’s found satisfaction in spinsterhood and caring for others, convinced that motherhood passed her by. Do she and Bo only work so well together for the children’s sakes...or could they both find courage to make this sweet temporary arrangement something truly lasting?

“Did you fill your dance card?”

It took the space of two seconds for Bo to shift from his past to his present, and Louisa knew the moment he did. The lines of his face softened and his arm relaxed. “Still got some openings. Do you want me to put your name in one?” He flashed a teasing smile at her.

Or was it genuine?

Not that it mattered. She chuckled somewhat regretfully. “I think I will have my hands full with the triplets.”

“You’re missing all the fun.” He sounded truly disappointed on her behalf, which triggered a sting of tears in her eyes.

She ducked her head lest he see how his words affected her. “I’m doing what needs to be done.”

He made a musing sound that drew her gaze back to him. “I’m going to make a wild guess here and say that’s the story of your life…doing what needs to be done.”

LINDA FORD lives on a ranch in Alberta, Canada, near enough to the Rocky Mountains that she can enjoy them on a daily basis. She and her husband raised fourteen children—four homemade, ten adopted. She currently shares her home and life with her husband, a grown son, a live-in paraplegic client and a continual (and welcome) stream of kids, kids-in-law, grandkids and assorted friends and relatives.

He rescued me because he delighted in me…

It is God who arms me with strength

and keeps my way secure.

—Psalms 18:19, 32

To Marie. I see your struggles. I see your strength and courage. I pray God’s love into your life.
