Book 8 in the bestselling Cowboys of Chance Creek series.
Wedding bells are ringing on the Double-Bar-K and Luke Matheson is determined to make his move on his favorite bridesmaid–sweet, sexy Mia Start. Though she’s shared his house for more than two months, she’s remained elusive. Luke’s ready to cross that divide, and win her love for good.
Mia would give anything to marry Luke, but he … marry Luke, but he won’t want her once he knows the truth; she’s four months pregnant with another man’s child. It’s time to find a real home–and a real job–so she can raise her baby alone.
When a nosy neighbor exposes Mia’s pregnancy at his brother’s wedding, Luke sees his chance to finally get what he wants. He lays claim to the baby–and to Mia–but their happily-ever-after lasts barely a day. When Luke’s pride clashes with Mia’s need for independence, Mia calls their brand new engagement off.
Can Luke convince her to change her mind? Or will these wedding bells sound the death knell of their relationship?

I enjoyed this book so much I bought the entire series. I loved the characters. I recommend this book as a stand alone but I believe you’ll want the entire series to see love blossom with the other characters too.
Cora Stetson never fails to entrance you. Her characters are so realistic you want to be friends with them just to see how will turns out. Read and you will be enthralled!
This book opens with a confrontation between Mia and the father of her child, a meeting with an acquaintance from her pageant days . We then progresses to the breakfast at the Matheson ranch the day of Ned and Fila’s wedding. A trip to Paris might be in the works for Lisa if Holt doesn’t mind his own business when it comes to Luke and Mia.
When Autumn has her baby at home with only Mia and Luke present, Luke confesses he wants to marry her and for them to have a family. Mia confesses she’s already pregnant and Luke finds himself angry, but not a Mia, at the man who did this to her.
Things come to a head at Ned and Fila’s wedding though, busybodies can’t help themselves and they out Mia’s pregnancy. Luke is having none of it and comes to Mia’s rescue.
Of course it’s not going to be that easy. Mia decides she needs to take charge of her life. She wants to have a career of sorts and no one is taking her seriously. I love the way Mia gets a not only a make-over but starts an event planning business.
Luke isn’t going to have an easy time convincing her to marry him and there’s mysterious notes showing up as well.
Lots of fun and laughter as this story progresses and there’s some tears as well. Oh and some very serious sizzle too.
I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
I love the Chance Creek books.
My favorite thing about this story is how Luke just can’t seem to get it right. His actions proclaim loud and clear he loves Mia but his words keep shouting his misconception of what she needs. Thankfully Mia has opportunities to show him. It is a struggle as lot of couples have but never find resolution for.

I really didn’t like this book at all. I was so looking forward to Mia and Luke’s book. I love the baby of another man theme and it could have been so cute only it wasn’t. Luke was a complete idiot that always said and did the stupidest, and hurtful things. Truly I have never read a hero more boneheaded in my life. And Mia God help me Mia was an immature twit. She acted like the 5 year old you see with their hands on their hips yelling I’m all grown up and I can do what I want cause I’m a big girl! They didn’t really have any kind of relationship. They broke up after one day then Mia and Luke just avoided each other off and on for weeks. They would then every once in a while sleep together then Luke would open his mouth tick Mia off and they would avoid each other some more. That right there is the whole book. I didn’t like it or the couple total let down!
