The surprise heir gets a surprise heir!
As the newly revealed secret son of Oklahoma’s most notorious billionaire, ranch foreman Kaden Waite could lose everything if he doesn’t kowtow to his late father’s terms. In a desperate moment, he turns to heiress and friend Pippa Duncan for some very private comfort. But soon Pippa has a secret of her own—she’s having his baby. Kaden is determined that history not repeat itself: the child will bear his name and Pippa will be his bride. But Pippa refuses to settle for marriage without love. Is it a stalemate or the start of something truly special?
Claiming the Cowgirl’s Baby is part of the Red Dirt Royalty series.
“Who knows when I might be in your bed again?”
Kaden stopped to consider Pippa’s words. Oh yeah, there were all sorts of buts and second thoughts. She didn’t seem like a one-night-stand kind of girl but maybe he’d read her wrong. It was just sex after all. A way to forget.
He studied her expression, thought about what he knew of her. Pippa Duncan was a sweet woman who wanted to make the world a better place. She wanted to help people. And this was her way of helping him. Somehow, in spilling his guts about the day’s revelations, he’d become one of her charity cases.
The more he thought about it, the more Kade understood what Pippa was trying to do. What would it hurt to accept what she was offering?
He gave in to the need.
His lips skimmed her jaw, seeking her mouth. Then he took their kiss deeper, yet kept it quiet and dreamy, hovering just on the edge of desire.
He eased back to look at her and asked, “Are you sure?”
