Unexpectedly Expecting! (Lone Star Canyon Series #2)

by Susan Mallery

Overview

Sassy hairdresser Nora Darby had a chip on her shoulder the size of Texas. Abandoned by her dad and betrayed by her fiancé, she was anti-man, anti-marriage and mouthy about it to boot. All of which suited Stephen Remington, M.D., to a tee. Though the townsfolk considered him the ideal candidate to scale Nora’s defenses and soften her heart, the sexy widower had vowed never to love — and lose — again.

But their public battle of the sexes led to a night of shocking, private passion...and an unexpected pregnancy...leaving no-strings Nora and love-shy Stephen staring straight down the shotgun of motherhood and — shudder! — matrimony....
