Royal, Texas – Present Day

Luke Weston left Texas as soon as he turned eighteen and left behind his girlfriend, Scarlett McKittrick, because he didn't want to expose her to the bad genes he suspects he carries due to his alcoholic and abusive father. With his father now in a facility as a result of his alcohol abuse and the ranch about to be foreclosed, Luke returns to Royal to discover things are worse than he thought. With animals needing immediate care, he turns to the one person he knows who can help: Scarlett, who is now a veterinarian. The moment Luke sees her again, old feelings are stirred up. But nothing has changed how he feels about not wanting to marry because of his bad genes.

A lot has changed for Scarlett since she and Luke were eighteen. Not only is she now a vet, but she has a young son, Carl, whom she adopted as a single parent. Luke broke her heart once by leaving and it appears he has no plans to stick around again because his life is clearly in Silicon Valley, California, where he runs a billion-dollar company and he's on Forbes hot list. She can't move there because her life is in Royal. Yet, the sizzling attraction between them is rekindled once more. They can't deny the attraction, but will it end when he leaves town?

REUNITED…WITH BABY is part of  The Texan Cattleman's Club: The Imposter  series but the mystery in the  Imposter  storyline is more of a side story than one that involves Luke and Scarlett's romance. If readers are following along, then they'll be familiar with the search for the man who pretended to be Will Sanders. One man is dead. Is the perp going to kill again? In REUNITED…WITH BABY, new leads are opened up. Only three more books to go.

As for Luke and Scarlett, their breakup was painful because he just abruptly broke their relationship off and left town. She went on with her life and even almost married another man. But now her life is content with her son Carl. Luke's re-entrance into Scarlett's life is only going cause turmoil—and maybe another broken heart. Luke found his family's ranch in dire condition. He could walk away, but he values the history. As Luke and Scarlett work together to save the sick and injured animals, they grow closer, which rekindles their old feelings. Once they decide to act upon them, there's no going back, even though they both feel there isn't a future together.

In REUNITED…WITH BABY, Luke has to grapple with his family's alcoholic past and hopes to avoid that happening to him. Because of these “bad genes,” he's decided to never marry. Scarlett is fine—at first—with an affair, yet she soon sees how wonderful he is with Carl. Surely Luke will realize he isn't like his father?

Will Luke and Scarlett find happiness together in REUNITED …WITH BABY? Find out in this emotional and compelling tale of a couple's reunion.
