Mention the title in your comment (or an email, if you're entering that way.) If you win, that's the book that will be sent to you. Easy Peasy. Here are the three finalists:

A Rancher to Trust by Laurel Blount, Love Inspired (Harlequin), editor Connolly Bottum

Searching for forgiveness...and a future.
Suddenly a husband...and a father? This bachelor is ready to claim his instant family.

After learning his ex-wife isn't so ex after all, rebel turned rancher Dan Whitlock is determined to prove he's a changed man...but Bailey Quinn is just as set on finally ending their marriage. When tragedy makes Dan the guardian of little orphan twins, he and Bailey are drawn back together. But can she forgive the past and open her heart to the family she's always wanted?

The Rancher's Unexpected Baby by Jill Lynn, Love Inspired (Harlequin), editors Shana Asaro and Dina Davis

From bachelor to daddy...overnight! A Colorado Grooms novel.

After his marriage ended, Gage Frasier vowed he'd never remarry or have children -- but now he's guardian of an orphan baby boy.

Parenthood surprises Gage, but will love sneak up on him too?

Lioness : Mahlah's Journey by Barbara M. Mitton, HarbourLight Books (Pelican), editor Fay Lamb

Fiction from Numbers 27:1-11 and 36:1-13 "Go forth with God."

While the Israelites struggle to occupy the Promised Land of God. Mahlah bat Zelophehad is orphaned and left to care for her four sisters. But daughters of the dead are unable to inherit land, and it will take a miracle for Mahlah to obtain the means to care for her sisters and uphold the vow she made to her dying mother.

Mahlah must seek Moses, the leader of her people, and request something extraordinary -- the right for a daughter to inherit her deceased father's land. A right that will upset the ox-cart of male inheritance and cast her in the role of a rebel.
