He needs a wife...fast. From USA TODAY bestselling author Sara Orwig!
To inherit his fortune, Marc Medina has a month to find a wife, which seems impossible. Until he discovers his gorgeous assistant is pregnant. Marrying her and providing for her child could be the perfect business deal...
Her boss’s proposal will secure her baby’s future. All Lara Seymour has to do is not fall in love. But Marc is sexy, kind and downright dangerous... Falling for her fake husband could ruin everything.
The Texan’s Baby Proposal is part of the Callahan’s Clan series.
“There’s more, Lara… I haven’t reached the part that includes you,” Marc said.
Startled and curious, Lara stared at him.
“I’ve only told you part of my grandfather’s demands. There’s another part. I’m to marry this month and stay married for one year.”
He reached across the table to take her hand, which was an action so unlike him that she nearly gasped. For a few seconds, she couldn’t speak. She could only continue staring at him.
“Don’t say anything until I’m through. You’re surprised, just as I was when my grandfather told me.”
While she heard his words, she was still focused on his hand wrapped around hers. It was warm, his grip light, yet the instant they touched, she tingled from head to toe.
Somehow, the touch of his hand had changed their relationship. She was certainly more aware of him as a man. And that awareness made it impossible to find words for a response.
He continued, “I want to see if I can make a deal with you…and make you my wife.”

Facing a problem he never thought he would have, Marc Medina sat in his spacious Dallas office on a Tuesday evening and, through his open door, watched Lara Seymour, his executive secretary. It was almost an hour after closing time, but she had a six-o’clock appointment to talk to him. He knew she would appear promptly at six, not a minute early, not a minute late. He wondered what problem she had and hoped she wasn’t planning to quit because she was the best secretary ever.
And the best looking.
He stifled that line of thought. CEO and President, Marc had built this company, Medina Energy. He had a policy of never dating a coworker, never getting emotionally involved with one, never flirting with one. Instead, he maintained a professional relationship at all times. Nothing would make him deviate from that policy, especially now that he was widowed.
Of all the women he had worked with, Lara was the biggest temptation. She was the only one he was keenly aware of as a woman. Still, their relationship had never gone beyond business friendly.
His thoughts returned to his ailing grandfather and his ultimatum to Marc—marry within this month and live on his grandfather’s ranch for one year. If he did so, Marc and his mother stood to gain a large inheritance of mineral rights and producing wells, and he stood to gain the ranch. Marc wanted that inheritance and
