Luke: The Rancher's Secret Baby, A Heartwarming Romance
by Leigh Duncan
Rancher Luke Parker swore he’d never risk his heart again after his childhood sweetheart walked out on him to start a new life in the big city. The brooding cowboy has stayed true to his word over the last six years while he wrangled cattle and guided city slickers on cattle drives through South Florida’s version of the Old West. But everything changes the day a feisty social worker shows up on the Circle P with a scrappy little boy at her side, a child she swears belongs to Luke.
Luke might be the best-looking man who’s ever swaggered into the DCF office, but as far as Sarah Magarity is concerned, he’s the latest in a long line of fathers who refuse to take responsibility for their children. And Luke’s plan to take five-year-old Jimmy on a two-week round-up while they wait for the results of a paternity test? Ludicrous! But it’s either that or stick little Jimmy in a group home. Which isn’t going to happen, not when she’s already put her career on the line for the child.
On the long trail ride, Luke’s concern for those around him convinces Sarah he’s telling the truth when he says he never knew about his son. Soon, Sarah and Luke’s attraction grows hotter than Florida in the summer. But will their new-found love survive when Jimmy’s blood work delivers surprising results?
All five Hometown Heroes Series books (LUKE, BRETT, DAN, TRAVIS, and COLT) are also available in the Hometown Heroes Collection boxed set.
This book was originally published as a Harlequin American Romance.
