Publisher Description

He’s determined to crack the hard shell around her heart. She’s just as determined to enforce it. And a pregnancy challenges both! Anything can happen in the latest from New York Times bestselling author Christine Rimmer!

Could one night with the rancher

Lead to a lifetime of love?

Piper Wallace’s unexpected one-night fling with the sexy, much-younger rancher Jason Bravo is unforgettable—and not just because of their mind-blowing chemistry! The widowed librarian is now pregnant with his child. Jason agrees to keep the relationship between himself and the woman he's secretly loved for years as strictly a co-parenting one. Still, when Piper locates her biological father through an online DNA site and plans a road trip to meet him, Jason insists on tagging along. Their connection burns hotter than ever. But can he convince Piper that unlike the unreliable men in her past, he’s playing for keeps?

“They Just Keep Getting Better And Better I could not wait to get my hands on this book and it did not disappoint! Age is just a number and you really are as old as you feel and Piper Wallace may be a widowed librarian but she still has a lot of life to live. When it comes down to it, she may not have made the right decision and may have settled for Mr. Right-Then when she married her husband and not for love. Now she is a widow and pretty sure that she can spend the rest of her life without a man and be content. Mix in a pretty intense day at work, innocent flirting at the local bar with a sexy-as-sin young man that is thirteen years her junior and you have the makings of a really good time. Sexy-as-sin local artist Jason Bravo has been crushing on Piper since her first year as a librarian when he was in Jr. High and he is bound and determined to show her that she has a lot of living to do and he is just the man to show her how. From the start, Piper is determined to keep Jason as arm’s length and he is just as determined to wear her down and get under her skin, prove that he is the man for her and the thirteen years difference means nothing, especially when on this roller coaster we call life. This story has so many wonderful supporting characters that provide the extra drama and angst that help give Piper and Jason the push that they need to get closer, from Piper’s free-spirited mother and Jason’s supportive and loving family to Piper’s newly found family. Ms. Rimmer has a way of creating characters and storylines that get your heart and soul invested and you can’t help but cheer when the main characters finally come to the same conclusions that you did about them belonging together. I have been reading Ms. Rimmer’s books for many years and I cannot wait for the next book to come out. Piper and Jason’s story was so good and may have made me cry a little, a few times but that is how you know that you are reading a really good book. I really hope that there is an update to this sweet couple in a future book so I can watch them grow old and happy together.”

“This is a great story that builds on the multi generational bravo series. A one night stand results in a baby. Piper is older and comfortable on her own, finding herself pregnant doesn’t break her stride. She just makes plans to go alone. Jason is 13 years younger and has had feelings for Piper for years. He is determined to build a relationship with Piper and their child.”
