Healing a Heart: a Cattle Creek novel

By Amy Lillard

Book Overview

Jake Langston prides himself on being responsible: the core of the Langston family, a good father to his daughter, Wesley, as well as the dependable head of the Diamond Duvall Ranch. But five years after the death of his wife, he lets loose and indulges in a one-night stand with a sexy stranger. He thought he'd never see the woman again, then four months later, she's standing in his driveway with a big surprise.
She's pregnant.
Bryn Talbot wants nothing from the hunky cowboy, but her southern nature demands she at least tell him about the baby they created. She is on her way to the Pacific Ocean to scatter some of her little sister's ashes. That's why she's back in Texas, but she has every intention of returning to Georgia and living her life-with the baby and without Jake.
Yet the Langston family persuades her to stay for a while and get to know them better, and she's soon won over by their charms-and especially by Jake.
Nor is Jake immune to the warmth and security that Bryn seems to provide. But each has suffered such devastating losses-Jake lost his wife, and Bryn, the sister who was more like her own daughter than a sibling. Neither is sure if they're ready to take the leap to forever, but with a baby soon to arrive and Wesley's heart on the line, the pair will have to come to an amicable agreement. Or perhaps they should just fall in love...
