The Baby Claim
Catherine Mann

Their families’ are enemies. Their red-hot, one-night stand ended badly.Oil billionaire Broderick Steele was raised to hate his rival, Glenna. Even though she’s the sexiest woman he’s ever known. Then, amid mergers and scandal, they find an abandoned baby who could be Broderick’s or Glenna’s…

From a family feud...to a one-night stand ending in heartbreak.

Now will these rivals get a second chance at love?

Rugged oil tycoon Broderick has avoided temptation for years. But an abandoned baby forces him back into his ex-lover’s world. He needs Glenna. For the child, for himself...for untangling the ties that bind their families. For discovering who the baby’s father really is. But will their passion survive the truth?
