      Three nights with a Texan...and one pregnancy surprise! Only from New York Times bestselling author Brenda Jackson!

      The Texas rancher and navy SEAL who fathered Bristol Lockett’s son died a hero’s death...or so she was told. Yet when Laramie “Coop” Cooper strolls into her exhibit at an art gallery three years later, he’s very much alive—and still making her pulse zing. The all-consuming chemistry between them is as undeniable now as it was then, but Bristol won’t risk her heart—or their son’s. Little does Bristol know he’s determined to win over his unexpected family at any cost!

      A sexy smile touched the corners of his lips.

      “I’ve wanted to kiss you from the moment I saw you.”

      Bristol drew in a deep breath and stared at him. “I just can’t believe you are alive. Someone in the State Department checked into it and told me you’d died.”

      “When was this?”

      “A month after I last saw you.”

      He nodded. “I was presumed dead, so the person was right. I was rescued just days before Christmas the following year.”

      “That was a long time.”

      “Yes, it was.” Only his close friends knew about the nightmares he’d had for months following his rescue. Nightmares he still had at times.

      “Why were you trying to reach me, Bristol?”

      Drawing in another deep breath, she met his gaze and said, “I wanted to let you know I was pregnant.”
