The Soldier's Twin Surprise
Judy Duarte

Eternal bachelor? Soon to be father. For hotshot Army pilot Clay Masters, dating an enlisted woman was always off-limits. And when Rickie appears with news that she’s expecting his twins, Clay’s dreams of military glory are dashed. She’s has craved a family for years but can she count on Clay to be her partner in parenthood and love?

Off-the-clock cowboy becomes...daddy?

Even though his night of passion with Erica Campbell was incredible, for hotshot army pilot Clay Masters an enlisted woman’s off-limits. Until a fresh-out-of-the-service Rickie appears with news: she’s having his babies. Two of them! Rickie’s dreamed of her very own family for years. But can she count on Clay—a man whose dreams of military glory have just been dashed—to be her partner in parenthood...and in love?
