Sweet Callahan Homecoming. Tina LeonardЧитать онлайн книгу.
Four Babies—and Her Whole Family—to Protect
Ashlyn Callahan has always known that her fate can only bring danger to those she loves. That’s why she flees Rancho Diablo—and the ornery cowboy she loves—to hide out in Texas Hill Country. But all hell breaks loose when Xavier Phillips finds her…and her four newborn babies.
Xav finally tracks down his warrior woman—only to discover she’s the mother of two perfect little boys and two perfect little girls. And he’s the father! Now Ash has to marry him. With the future of Ash’s entire clan at stake, Xav is ready to lay his life on the line to safeguard the family legacy. Not to mention create a homecoming—and a wedding!—worthy of his Chacon Callahan bride!
He needed this family. He needed her.
Xav pulled Ash toward him, wrapped her in his arms. “You still smell like peaches, you’re still soft as rain water and you still fit right under my heart.”
“I am the hunted one,” Ash said quietly. “You’re trying to protect me.”
“Gage, Shaman, Kendall and Ashlyn,” he said against her hair, drinking in the scent of her and the feel of her in his arms.
“What?”
“Those are the middle names I choose. And you should be impressed with my ability to select baby names when I didn’t even know I was a father four hours ago. Briar Kendall, Skye Ashlyn, Valor Shaman and Thorn Gage. Phillips. Named after my brothers and sister. Have to have the other side of the family represented.”
She moved out of his arms. “Callahan, not Phillips.”
He hauled her into his lap as he sat down on the poufy old-fashioned sofa. “Here’s the deal. You marry me, and you can pick all the names.”
Dear Reader,
We always knew that Ashlyn and Xav were destined to be together—but who knows if the Callahan family can survive the evil from the past that has long haunted them?
Ash Callahan is a free spirit, and in her soul rests the future of Rancho Diablo. There’s only one man who can help her find her family’s happy ending—but her four darling babies are a secret Ash must keep for now!
Xav Phillips knows only one thing: he must find Ash and bring her home to the ranch where she belongs in time for Christmas. It’s never easy to convince the silver-haired wild woman he has loved for so long about anything, but he knows his new—rather large—family is meant to live at Rancho Diablo. Convincing Ash to marry him and wear the magic wedding dress will be another challenge, yet as the past colors the future, Xav knows he must fight for a Callahan homecoming, the sweetest homecoming of all.
I hope you enjoy the final story in the Callahan legend. These were stories from my heart! The letters I’ve received about the Callahans let me know that this family touched your heart, too—thank you ever so much for your heartfelt support on this amazing journey!
Best wishes always,
Tina
