’Tis the season...for an unexpected baby surprise...
Taken in at a young age, Ryker Barrett owes the O’Shea family everything. Which means his “little sister” Laney is way off-limits...no matter how seductive the brunette beauty is! She’s the one woman he can’t have a casual fling with...so how in the hell did he end up in her bed?
Laney knows the dangerous Ryker is the perfect man for her no matter how hard he resists. But when one night of unbridled passion leaves Laney pregnant with his child, she’ll need a Christmas miracle to convince him that loving her won’t destroy his place in her overprotective family.
Something stirred inside him. Something primal.
Ryker moved closer, his eyes never coming off that lip she was biting. She was the most beautiful sight, and after the hellish past day and a half, he needed something beautiful in his life. He needed Laney.
His mouth slid over hers. His arms wrapped around her waist, jerking her flush against his body.
Finally.
Laney melted against him. Her mouth opened to his instantly and Ryker made no hesitation to take everything he wanted from her.
Before common sense or those red flags could wave too high, Ryker secured his hold around her waist, never breaking away from her lush mouth. He lifted her up, arousal bursting through him when she wrapped her legs around his waist.
“I didn’t think you wanted me,” she murmured against his lips.
Ryker spun and headed toward his room.
“I never said that. Ever.”
Laney nipped at his lips. “You push me away.”
Ryker stopped, pulled away and looked into those engaging eyes. “Do you feel me pushing you away now?”

With one hand clutching the forgotten cuff links and one hand firmly over her still-flat stomach, Laney pulled in a deep breath and willed courage to make an appearance.
She was an O’Shea, damn it. She didn’t back down in the face of fear. Fear was nothing but a lie. A bold-faced lie capable of defeating most people. Laney wasn’t most people.
She’d come this far, all she had to do was knock...and make a life-changing confession to a man she’d been in love with since she was old enough to notice boys. Forget the fact he’d been ten years older. Age meant about as much to her as fear did.
Tears clogged her throat as emotions threatened to overwhelm her. Whatever his reaction, she owed him the truth. But if he rejected her, the pain would slice deep.
Laney pushed aside the hurt, the fear and the nausea, and pounded on Ryker Barrett’s front door.
No turning back now.
Ryker had been part of her life since she was a child. He’d worked for her father, was best friends with her brothers. Her family had taken him in when his own had turned him away. He was mysterious, intriguing and frustrating.
And for the past five weeks he’d been pretending nothing had happened. He gave no hint that he even recalled tearing her Chanel dress from her body before holding her against her hotel room wall and bringing her every desire to life.
Nope.
