The Baby Race - Welcome to Council Falls, #1 - E-book - ePub

Race Reed reserves his love and attention for the abused horses he cares for on his ranch. Because his mother changed husbands as often as she changed clothes, Race doesn't believe in wedded bliss. Now to save his ranch he needs the money his paternal grandmother is offering as a marriage incentive. The bizarre contest she's set up between him and his two cousins to produce her first great-grandchild is another matter.
His only option - cheat in The Baby Race. Claire Jensen wants two things out of life, home and family. During her younger years she never questioned her father's nomadic lifestyle as he hunted for treasure, but as she grew older she longed to put down roots. When her father remarried and gave Claire a stepmother and baby stepsister, she'd thought her prayers were answered. Instead, she took over the parental role to her stepsister as her father and stepmother continued to search the world for treasure.
In every way that matters, the six-year-old is Claire's daughter. When Claire's father and stepmother are killed on their latest quest for treasure, without a steady job, husband or home, Claire is about to lose custody of her young stepsister. Her only option - run the The Baby Race.
