The Texas Cowboy's Baby Rescue
Cathy Gillen Thacker

Family…By FateBridgett Monroe dreams of adoption – and when she finds an abandoned baby it seems her dreams might come true. Only Cullen Reid McCabe, stands in her way! Cullen needs Bridgett’s help to find the baby’s parents – but could “family” mean the three of them?

FAMILY BY FATE

Finding an abandoned baby and a puppy brings nurse Bridgett Monroe one step closer to her dream of adoption. But Cullen Reid McCabe, aka the gruffest, sexiest rancher in Laramie, Texas, stands in her way. He’s been named responsible for the child—and he needs her help. Together they care for Robby, and grow closer every day.

Cullen knows what it’s like to grow up fatherless. So he’s determined to find Robby’s birth parents, even if it means Bridgett losing her chance to raise a child. Robby belongs with his real family. But could “family” mean the three of them—Cullen, Bridgett, Robby and puppy Riot—not just for now, but forever?

CATHY GILLEN THACKER is married and a mother of three. She and her husband spent eighteen years in Texas and now reside in North Carolina. Her mysteries, romantic comedies and heartwarming family stories have made numerous appearances on bestseller lists, but her best reward, she says, is knowing one of her books made someone’s day a little brighter. A popular Mills & Boon author for many years, she loves telling passionate stories with happy endings and thinks nothing beats a good romance and a hot cup of tea!
