Baggage Claim by Cathe Swanson

When danger strikes, love and family become the ultimate refuge. Ben Taylor, a 25-year-old widower with four children, is already struggling to balance college, a new job, and fatherhood when he gets caught up in a network of fraud and deception at his workplace. Forced to go undercover to expose the criminals and clear his name, Ben turns to Teresa Cooper, the capable nanny who keeps his world in order, to take his children to the one place where they will be completely safe. Jonah Campbell, a retired soldier-turned-artist living in the remote wilderness of the Upper Peninsula, never expected to learn he had a son and grandchildren, but he welcomes the chance to know and protect his newfound family. As they watch the children thrive in the great outdoors, Jonah finds himself falling for the lovely and capable nanny, while Teresa is drawn to the charming and slightly mysterious man her employer turned to for help. But as secrets from the past resurface and danger closes in, they must all confront the baggage they’ve been carrying—or risk losing everything. Baggage Claim is a compelling tale of love, redemption, and the power of family.
