A great addition to the series

This is the fourth book in the Millionaire Montana series. Throughout the series we have been treated to the feuding of Dev Devlin and Amanda Bradley. Dev is the local bad boy saloon owner. Amanda is the prim and proper bookstore owner. Their feud stems from their businesses sharing the same building. Dev wants to buy Amanda out so he can expand. Amanda wants things at the saloon to quiet down so her customers are not disturbed. Even after Dev becomes a millionaire by being part winner of a big lottery jackpot, Amanda refuses to sell to him.One evening as Amanda is leaving the bookstore, she is accosted by one of Dev's patrons. Dev steps in and saves Amanda. When Dev walks Amanda home to make sure she makes it OK, they begin to talk and their relationship takes a turn. Amanda has just found out the father who left her and her mother years earlier had four young children who have just been orphaned. She is determined to get custody of her brothers and sisters and take care of them no matter what she has to do. Dev offers again to buy her out if money becomes a problem and for the first time Amanda says she'll consider it depending on what she learns from Child Services about custody. When Dev follows up with Amanda after the meeting, he discovers that Child Services doesn't think Amanda can provide the kind of home the childrey need because she is single. The children are going to be split up, some going to foster care, some probably being adopted. One look at a picture of the four small children convinces Dev he has to do everything he can to help save them including convincing Amanda to a marriage of convenience. It's not long before Dev finds himself falling in love with the four kids and Amanda but can he convince Amanda that his bad boy days are behind him and he'll stick around better than her own father did?
