Sara Orwig

A billionaire, a baby and a bride of convenience? Oil baron Nick Duncan swore off love after the death of his wife and son. But all that changes after Talia Barton introduces him to his daughter. Talia’s determined the child won’t be left alone, but she never expected Nick to propose marriage – and mean it!

A billionaire, a baby and a bride of convenience?

Oil baron Nick Duncan swore off entanglements of the heart after his wife’s and son’s untimely death. So when Talia Barton introduces him to his orphaned daughter from a grief-fueled fling, he knows he’s in trouble. Talia won’t let the motherless child she’s been caring for become a ward of the state. But she never expects the handsome Texan to propose marriage...and actually mean it!
