A Baby in His Stocking

Wyatt Buckhorn is only a pal.  If sharing scorching kisses that leave a woman feeble-brained means they're pals!  But that's all the oilman-slash-rancher can be to Natalie Lewis.  Five months pregnant and jilted, Natalie refuses to trust any man, least of all a man who is the definition of playboy.  Throw in that every run-in turns into a fiery encounter, and "just friends" gets complicated.  Which is a shame, because Natalie's life is messy enough.

 

Besides, she knows Wyatt's secret--he's sterile, and so enforces a strict kid-free rule.  But when circumstances have them caring for a whole clan of Buckhorn youngsters over the holidays, Natalie sees a side of Wyatt that's definitely kid-friendly.  Weakening defenses, and even weaker knees, have Natalie determined to destroy Wyatt's anti-family policy . . . before he leaves town for good.

 

Fun Facts:

  • Wyatt's house is one I seriously wouldn't mind having for myself.  Maybe because of my interior design background, I typically "build" at least one book per house that I'd move into in a heartbeat!!    
  • The first draft of this story didn't include enough of Wyatt's professional life for my editor's liking.  I dove into the oil biz and learned one of the hottest new places being explored for oil is Ethiopia.  All I could envision for this country are tragic scenes of starving children, but it turns out it's actually a beautiful place.      
  • When the power goes out during the big snow storm, a couple years ago most of Tulsa experienced the same.  After a huge ice storm, we were without power for a week.  Oklahoma's weather is really getting wierd since we first moved here thirteen years ago.  Our summers are longer and hotter and winters are short and fierce.  Toss in five lovely days each for spring and fall and there you have it--weather Okie style!!
