The Magnificent Seven

Single mother Heather Johnson returns to Whitehorn, Montana, planning to spend one summer restoring the ranch house she's inherited with her three children in tow. When she hires local carpenter Mitch Fielding — a single father raising twin daughters — to help with the renovation, the two families start to feel like one household of seven.

As Mitch's steady hands rebuild the old ranch, he also helps rebuild the trust Heather thought she'd lost for good, and a slow, hard-won romance grows between them. The Magnificent Seven is an entry in Cheryl St. John's long-running Montana Mavericks series, set in the fictional town of Whitehorn, Montana.
