Surprise! You're a Daddy!

Life's been full of surprises lately for rancher Garrett Frost – and not in a good way. His mother has just dropped a bombshell about his past, so Garrett needs to take some time to come to terms with his family's secret. And who should he run into? Arden Cade, the beautiful photographer who shared a single night of passion with Garrett six months ago. He is even more shocked when he discovers Arden's pregnant – and he's the daddy!

Arden hadn't even planned on telling Garrett about the baby. Despite her lies, Garrett is determined to be a good father – and he can't deny that he's falling for her all over again. But he'll have to find a way to forgive Arden's betrayal. And to make peace with that skeleton in the family closet...

She would never consider a relationship with someone like her fiance's best friend, firefighter Jake McBride. With his frequent footloose jaunts and a dangerous career, Jake is everything Brooke's fiance is not –– raw, spontaneous, and passionate. But passion isn't everything...is it? The girl who hates surprises might just end up surprising everyone, especially herself.

Too hot to handle?

Grace Torres has a lot to lose. And the Texas Hill Country restaurateur isn't letting Ty Beckett steal her thunder. He may be the Lone Star State's most famous bachelor chef, but Grace has a family legacy to save. She'll do whatever it takes to keep her beloved restaurant afloat…even go head to head in a reality TV cook–off only one of them can win.

Growing up dirt–poor just made Ty more determined to succeed. But he's facing some stiff competition. Grace may be the only female alive who sees past Ty's footloose facade and charming one–liners. She's also igniting more heat than a Mexican jalapeno.

Walking away with first place could give Ty everything he ever wanted. It could also make him lose the one woman who's ever come close to taming this culinary cowboy!
