The Soldier's Baby Surprise
Stephanie Morris - 2015
But she’s an intelligent and resilient woman who’s experienced in getting through the worst of times. Still she knows that Chase Ackers, the father of her child deserves to know about the baby that their night of passion created. What she doesn’t expect is for him to want to be a part of her and their baby’s life. Major Chase Ackers is a career military man. He’s intentionally avoided any entanglements that would lead to marriage or children. Years in the Army had allowed him to witness just how hard it was to keep a family together. So he’d vowed to avoid attachments. Then he met Willow Barton. When she told him that their heated encounter had resulted in her being pregnant, his well laid out strategy went out the window. Yet, the panic he’d expected to feel never came. Instead he found himself wanting to make a relationship between him and Willow work—and not just for the sake of their baby.
