The Rancher’s Baby Bargain

Former class nerd, Lucy Carr, comes home with a tantalizing offer for hometown

hottie Aiden Harper: she’s developed a natural pesticide that will kill off

the spider mites eating his crops, and she’ll give it to him for free…if he

agrees to father a child for her. Time is running out to go the traditional

route for finding a man, and Lucy wants her baby to be smart AND good in gym

class.

Aiden has put everything he has into his fields of hops, and the award-winning

beer he brews with them. But one more year of mites eating half his crops and

his family’s farm and legacy—as well as his dreams for his brewery—are going

to go under. When Lucy shows up looking hot, and being hailed for her

scientific achievements, Aiden is more than a little jealous. He remembers how

fun science class was the year they’d been lab partners and how much more

enticing Lucy had been than the cheerleaders on the football field. He’d never

had the guts to admit his crush in high school—after all, jocks and nerds

didn’t mix. Now Lucy has everything, and he’s on the verge of losing it all.

But what starts as a trade of necessity to achieve their goals turns into a

tangled jumble of emotions when they realize they might have found more than

bugs and babies: they may have found the person who completes their lives.
