Lizzie Baron can't believe her bad luck. The one time she
has a one-night-stand, careful as they were, she's ended up
pregnant. This should be the happiest time of her life, but
the Texan bronc rider had moved on with the rodeo, of
course. She seeks him out, feeling obliged to tell him
she's having THE TEXAN'S BABY.
Christopher Miller has won a few titles but rodeo is only a
hobby; he's an engineer. He's not the sort to be surrounded
by adoring buckle bunnies. So Lizzie showing up on his
doorstep gives him a shock. Neither of them was looking for
a relationship but Chris has to admire her courage. Then
her father has an accident and is concussed and injured.
Lizzie, stressed and weak from morning sickness as she
hears the news, accepts Chris's gentlemanly offer to drive
her to the hospital a few hours away in Dallas. While they
politely get acquainted, Chris can't help feeling some
resentment at the chaos made of his own plans. He never
asked to be a father.
With domestic matters, morning sickness, food cravings and
a management job, Lizzie has plenty on her plate. She's not
looking to throw the complication of a new relationship
into the mix. However, she bends the truth and tells her
family she and Chris have been seeing each other. It'll
make the news of the baby easier to impart. Their
respective jobs do complicate matters. Lizzie's from an oil
family, while Chris works for an alternative energy firm.
However, the friendly feeling they'd felt that first time
they met, seems to be still in place. Or is Lizzie right to
suspect that Chris is picking up inside secrets from her
about her firm?
I liked the characters and the way that they wanted to take
responsibility for their actions. Energy is the burning
question of the day and there are so many alternatives,
now, that it makes sense for any firm to look at
diversifying sources. Does that mean that traditional
producers need to feel threatened and protective? Can't
they be part of the solution? And what will it take for an
unexpected baby to become a wanted one? This thoroughly
enjoyable book by popular Canadian author Donna Alward is
part of a linked miniseries called Texas Rodeo Barons
by
various authors. Meet the family in THE TEXAN'S BABY and
look out for the next books to feature them.
As a powerful Dallas oil executive, planning is what Lizzie
Baron does best. But she certainly didn't plan on getting
pregnant following one memorable night after a rodeo in Fort
Worth. Now she needs to figure out how she's going to raise
a baby with a man she barely knows.
Aspiring bronc rider Chris Miller always hoped he'd see
Lizzie again, though not quite like this. The pregnancy is a
surprise—and so is finding out she's a member of the
powerful Baron clan—but the more Chris gets to know Lizzie,
the more he realizes he wants to be with her. When Lizzie
learns Chris works for a rival company, she feels betrayed.
Can two perfect strangers trust each other enough to become
the perfect family?
