THE RANCHER’S BABY PROPOSAL
BLURB EXCERPT
HER SECRET COWBOY CRUSH
Ally Martinez has always been known as a fun and
flirty kind of gal. But deep down she’s never forgotten
the cowboy who left town. When her crush Reagan
Chase comes home after a five-year absence, Ally knows
this is her big chance. The guy I’ve always wanted. Only
Reagan has something different in mind…
Still reeling from his last relationship, Reagan needs a
babysitter for his month-old son. With Ally’s help, he can
get his family’s ranch ready for sale and get out of Cow-
boy Creek. The problem? Ally is one seriously cute dis-
traction. But Reagan will do whatever it takes to keep his
heart safe. Even if it means losing the only place—and
the only woman—he can call home. Reagan wouldn’t meet her eyes. “I’m getting some of
the equipment ready to sell.”
Ally’s heart jumped to her throat. She tightened her
grip on the baby carrier. “You have a buyer for the prop-
erty?”
“No. But I may put some of this up for sale sepa-
rately.”
“Oh. Well, if you need anything, Sean and I will be in
the house.”
“Yeah. I’ll be out here for a couple of hours, at least.”
“I can see that.” She had hoped for that. She needed
time to put her plan into action.
She went back to her car and retrieved the sacks and
the cooler she had left tucked on the floor behind the
driver’s seat. “Your daddy can hide out in the barn for as
long he likes,” she told the baby. “But whatever time he
decides to come in for the night, he’s going to get a big
surprise.”
Inside the house, she settled Sean in his playpen, where
he lay looking up, his blue eyes fixed on her.
“Okay,” she began, “this is the deal. I’m going to be
just a teeny bit deceitful with your daddy.”
