Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Mike Taggart has always been willing to take a gamble. But these stakes are just way too high - there's no way he's prepared to become a legal guardian to his five-year-old niece. His only option is to head from Las Vegas to Last Chance to sort things out as quickly as possible. Problem is, he arrives to find an inconsolable little girl, her sick cat, and a gorgeous veterinarian he can't get out of his mind.

Charlene Polk has two talents: healing sick critters and falling in love with the wrong men. Mike has trouble written all over him, but she can't leave him in the lurch. And the more time she spends with the sexy high roller, the more she sees that this ready-made family is the best stroke of luck they've ever had . . .

Library Journal Review

When Las Vegas gambler and day trader Mike Taggart is named guardian of his five-year-old niece, Rainbow, after his half-sister is murdered, he knows he's absolutely the wrong person for the job-and his younger half-brother, a Methodist minister in Last Chance, SC, might be just right. The only problem is that Mike hasn't seen Timmy since their father walked out with him when Timmy was three, and Timmy might not even remember him. But Mike is determined to see that Rainbow has the home he never had-he even has in mind the perfect wife for his brother, veterinarian Charlene Polk. Too bad Mike is attracted to her. VERDICT Overflowing with small-town Southern charm, this latest addition to Ramsay's engaging series pairs two emotionally wounded protagonists with a resilient, adorable moppet and a community of mostly caring folks to whip up a gentle, irresistible romance.
