    All I have to do is make a baby with him. For nine months, I’ll live like royalty, in a mansion resting on a wooded estate. I’ll dine with celebrities and share hors d'oeuvres with politicians. I’ll ride on a galloping thoroughbred over rolling hills by day and let myself be driven through the glittering city lights at night. And I’ll step onto the red carpet in my couture gown on the arm of Daniel, a billionaire as gorgeous as he is mysterious. I don’t know everything about him, but I know what matters. I know that he can start my heart pounding with a single glance. That his embrace is as overwhelming as it is protective. That his scent arouses and intimidates in equal measure. That his touch makes it impossible to think. And he uses it all to get whatever he wants. I have little time to know him better. To see what kind of man he is behind the mask. To see if he can be a good father to our child. So I can convince myself that I’m not making the worst mistake of my life. Because in nine months’ time when our baby is born... I must leave them all behind. Expecting His Baby is a stand-alone novel with no cliffhanger, no cheating, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Richard wasn't cut out for ranching life and wound up being a Senator for the state of Texas at the age of 40 and still holds the seat. Russell is, for all practical purposes, the patriarch of the family, the glue that holds it together. His five children, now all grown, will one day inherit Heritage and, with luck, will hold it in safe keeping for generations of Walker's to come. Of late, Russell has found himself trying to figure out which of his children will end up being the next guardian of Heritage. He'd also begun to wonder if he'll ever become a grandfather, and also if his fate is to end up alone. He's been through four marriages and none of them lasted. For years, he's swore he'll never marry again. He still sticks to that and hasn't been in a relationship in a very long time. All his female companions are casual, or women who know that friends with benefits are all they'll get from Russell. He was fine with that all this time, so why now is he becoming so dissatisfied with life? Maybe it has something to do with the woman who's in charge of the breeding program for Heritage. Naomie Taylor. She's damn good at what she does. Brilliant, in fact. And hot as a Texas sidewalk in the middle of July. But she works for him and they both have rules about being involved with peopel who work for or with. Not to mention she's much younger. Still, that doesn't keep him from wondering. Would they be a good match? Maybe one day he'll find out. For now, Heritage may be in for some troubling times, and danger could likely be in the future for all of them, so Russell and all his family need to be mindful and take care of their own. There's already been one threat against their family, and he doesn't take that lightly. If someone wants to come for his family, they'll have to go through him first. Walkers take care of their own. So, love and lust will just have to wait. At least that's what he tells himself.
