The four Morgan brothers are a tough bunch. Raised by
their hard-to-please father, they know no boundaries when
it comes to self-preservation. Each son has a bone to pick
with their dad; however, they have grown up to be strong
men with hearts of gold. Any woman would be lucky to call
one of them her own which is exactly what Josiah Morgan,
their father, is banking on. Unbeknownst to them, he has
hatched a plan to get his boys back to Union Junction,
Texas before it's too late.
Gabriel Morgan has put up with many disappointments when it
comes to his dad, yet he feels a sense of obligation to
return home when summoned. His father has offered each of
the siblings one million dollars if they agree to live at
the Morgan Ranch for one year. Although it seems like a
simple request, Gabriel knows that as far as his father is
concerned, there are always strings attached.
Willing to take the bait, Gabriel sets his sights on
surviving the challenge. What he doesn't expect is to meet
Laura Adams, a recent widow with two small children, and
fall for her beauty and charm. His original plan was to
wait out the year, collect his money, and take off for
sights unknown. Nowhere in his agenda did it say hook up
with a woman and raise her two kids.
Laura Adams knows everything there is to know about the
Morgan brothers which is exactly why she can't get tied up
with someone like Gabriel. The last thing this single mom
needs is to get involved with a love'em and leave'em
type. So, why then can she not get Gabriel Morgan out of
her head? What makes this man so attractive that she is
willing to risk it all to be by his side?
TEAXAS LULLABY is the first selection in Harlequin's The
State of Parenthood series. Written by the talented and
former Jen's Jewels Tina Leonard, it's the perfect romance
novel to launch this exciting new series.
Gabriel Morgan has been lured home to Union Junction,
Texas, by a father who claims he's not trying to match his
ornery son with a ready-made family. Gabriel has his
commitment radar up—so when he lays eyes on the widow
Laura Adams and her sweet children, he's not prepared for
visions of baby booties dancing in his head!
Laura finds it absolutely irresistible that Gabriel has
fallen for her little girl and baby boy. But
his "proposal" to marry her and take care of them all for
one year smells too much like convenience—and not enough
like the love she's looking for. Does being a good mother
mean putting her children first?
What Laura doesn't know yet is that her kids aren't the
only ones Gabriel's falling for.…
