Mack McGruder was there to pay her off...another one of his ne'er-do-well brother's women, claiming paternity. But Addy truly was having a McGruder heir...at that exact moment.
At her side during the birth, Mack knew he couldn't just abandon her. So he offered Addy a name for her baby and a hands-off marriage, though secretly he desired her.
Together in his grand Texas home, the temptation was unbearable. If Mack took what he truly wanted, would having Addy be worth the price he'd have to pay?
