He took a deep breath, then blurted, “I’m looking for a nanny for my daughter, Grace. If you take the job, you’ll need to move out to the ranch. I will make sure that you make more than what you do now as a teacher. I’ll double what they are paying you to teach.”

Laura needed the money. If she could work until planting season was over and school started back, maybe she’d make enough money to buy her own house.

Clint nodded. “I see. What if I promise to help you look for a house and you work for me until school resumes?”
