Abandoned at birth, Texas Ranger Jeremiah Tucker had it
rough, but without the love and care of his adopted
parents, he knew that things could have been so much
worse. He idolized his parents who had recently passed
away for all the joy they gave to the large number of
children they had adopted or fostered. He just loved being
called "Tuck" by his friends and family in honour of his Pa.
Seeking to bring the same love to other children, he vowed
that he would never marry and have his own children, but
would devote his life to helping others. He had planned to
do this in the future, however, after responding with
another Texas Ranger to a domestic call turned violent and
tragic, he felt a strong concern over the child found at
the scene. Sickened by the sight of the neglected baby,
covered in a filthy diaper and eating dogfood, Tuck felt
the need to move up his plan and adopt the little boy
called Brady.
Given all the good works he had done in the past and his
demonstrated love for children, he thought he would make an
excellent father for Brady. But, just as he moved to file
for adoption, a young and rich couple decided they wanted
to adopt the boy as well. As if that wasn't bad enough,
they had hired Grace Whitten, a well-respected lawyer and
the sister of his brother's wife, Caroline. Sharp sparks
had always been a hallmark of their relationship before,
but this latest betrayal was too much for him.
For her part, Grace had always done what others had
expected of her, but with underhanded changes taking place
in her law office and seeing what was happening at the
hospital where Brady was receiving care, she started to
realize that she had to do what was right by her and not
the desires of others. She had told Tuck that the baby
needed a mother in his life and she knew in her heart that
was right. Yet, how could she continue to not support his
adoption bid while flames of love were igniting in her
heart?
Set in the Texas cowboy country, Linda Warren has spun an
intriguing story that is sure to captivate your heart. With
a strong and realistically set plot, you are instantly
pulling into the drama of the story and into the thoughts
and hearts of Tuck and Grace as they struggle with the
future while dealing with the issues of the past. This
book is a real winner and a fitting conclusion to the
McCain Brothers series!
After answering a call asking for backup, Texas Ranger
Jeremiah 'Tuck' Tucker discovers an abandoned child at the
crime scene. Little Brady has been neglected—and it turns
out he has no living family. Tuck is determined to give the
two-year-old boy a home, and starts the process of adoption.
He's furious when he learns Grace Whitten, a lawyer and
family friend, is representing a couple who also want
Brady. She and Tuck have never gotten along, and now she's
questioning his abilities as a parent. But once he finds
out Grace's true intentions for the child, he begins to see
beyond the lawyer, to the woman. And to the potential wife
and mother…
