A HERO’S SURPRISE‘Commitment’ has never been a word associated with Ty Spurlock, but he can’t resist Jade Harper! And he’s determined to woo her… even if he is about to leave town to join the Navy SEALs.Jade can’t help falling for Ty’s roguish charm, but she refuses to stand in the way of his dream. The problem? She can’t hide her surprise – two precious surprises! – when her hero comes home for Christmas. Besotted with his twin girls, Ty’s ready for a family. But can Jade say yes to a man who vowed never to be tied down?

“I want a baby.”

Ty stepped back a pace, stunned. “What does that have to do with me?”

“I want you to give me a child.”

Ty blinked, took in Jade’s very serious expression.

“That’s a pretty good tactic, beautiful. You nearly gave me heart failure. But I’m not falling for it, so move your sweet little buns away from that door. My brothers need me.”

She shook her head. “I want a baby, and you’re the man who can help me.”

He smiled, staggered by her charming ploy to keep him in the bunkhouse. “Well, of course I can help you. But as we both know, I’m leaving. I don’t have time for romance and nonsense, and I’m not getting married so—”

“I didn’t say I wanted to marry you,” Jade said. “You’re never coming back to Bridesmaids Creek, so you’re the perfect man for what I need.”

“Hang on a sec,” Ty Spurlock said to Sheriff Dennis McAdams, stunned as he watched a tall redhead wearing seriously tight blue jeans that complemented her seriously sexy figure walk into The Wedding Diner on the arm of Sam Barr, a bachelor recruit whom Ty had brought to town for the express purpose of matchmaking.

It appeared that a match might indeed be in the making. The problem was, the redhead wasn’t one of Ty’s intended bachelorettes.

Because he secretly had his eye on her for himself.

“What was that?” Ty demanded.

“What was what?”

“Jade Harper going into The Wedding Diner with Sam.”

Dennis grinned at him. “Free country, isn’t it?”

“Sure it is.” Ty sank onto the hood of the sheriff’s cruiser and pondered why the idea of Jade and Sam together bothered him, like a real bad toss from a bull. He’d had those, many of those. They were never any fun.
