This is Grant Everett and Harley Wingate Story.
I love how the author characters was well developed and you can feel all of the emotions of love, pain, disappointment, betrayal, romance, caring that they were going through. At times I wanted to choke both Grant and Harley because of their stubbornness and not communicating their true honest feelings to each other. They always say you should not assume.
This book was a page turner and I recommend it to read, especially if you like books with romance, secrets, family drama and steamy love. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Loving the Texas Cattleman Club series!
Cat pulls you in to quickly to the story of Grant and Harley who had a magnificent weekend after the Texas Cattleman Club Ball 5 years ago until Grant discovered Harley’s age. I really hated Grant for his continued attitude towards Harley when she returns to raise funds for her charity and to let Grant know he’s a father. Grant goes all in to being the best father , but will he realize what he has with Harley is the real deal? You have to read to find out and won’t put the book down until you turn the last page!
Both of them learned a good lesson once he knew the truth. He had every right to be upset with her but not for long. She made the choice to not say anything. Everybody has done something to hurt someone at some point in their lives. She had to grow up first to see that. I did not like the way she handled it at first but I understand why she did. Your child comes first.

The beautiful cover drew me to this story which hits all the predictable beats of a traditional Harlequin romance. I usually shy away from doctors as protagonists but I like age gap romance so I chose this one. Despite their age gap Harley was the mature one in the relationship.

This is the 3rd book in the Texas Cattleman’s Club: Rags to Riches series and it is a great addition to the previous books. Waiting patiently for the remaining books.
Grant Everett is 35 y/o fertility specialist doctor who went against his parent’s wishes of him joining the family business and has caused some discord in his family. Harley Wingate is awesome and she is only seeking the attention of her family by getting into trouble and just being an 18-year-old. Harley is the baby of the bunch with three older brothers and 1 sister.
Grant and Harley met at a TCC gala event and Harley went after Grant full force intent on having him. Harley is 18 years and did not let 35-year-old Grant know how old she was. As it is always said age is nothing but a number and Harley was of legal age. I do understand Grant for insisting that he was to old for Harley but no one but Grant felt he was too old for Harley. Would’ve thought the family would have made waves but no one did.
Harley and Grant spent the weekend of the gala locked away from the world in a hotel suite and enjoyed every minute of it until Grant finds out that he is 11 years Harley’s senior which doesn’t seem to bother Harley. Words were said and Harley and Grant walked away from each. Harley moves away to Thailand after finding out she’s pregnant and starts a non-for-profit origination “Zest”. Harley is doing an awesome job with the raising of her 4-year-old son Daniel. Funding for Zest is running out, she was using donations from her family’s business which seems to be undergoing major problems. Harley thought about informing Grant that he was a father but found out that Grant was getting married and did not want to cause problems. Very mature of her.
Harley returns home with a 4-year-old Daniel and informs Grant that he’s the father, paternity test reveals that he is the father. Grant is very happy that he is a father and steps right into the role of being a father.
Even after 5 years apart there are major sparks still there for Grant, he doesn’t want those feelings but they are a there stronger than ever and Harley has done a lot of growing up and she is much more mature and have even greater curves in all the right places.
Don’t forget to pick up your copy today to find out what’s in store for Grant, Harley and Daniel.

Harley and Grant met 5 years ago and she acted more mature than her 18 years after a wild and steamy encounter, Grant dumps her when he finds out she is 13 years his junior. He starts dating older women and eventually gets married and divorced. Harley leaves for Taiwan and returns 5 years later a single mom to 4 year old Daniel, Grants son. She tells Grant he is a father and after the paternity test (Grant’s insistence), she encourages him and Daniel to spend time together. Several times through out the book I felt that despite being 13 years younger Harley was the more mature in the relationship, Grant wanted Harley to stay with him to be his mistress so to speak, available for his needs but never getting anything more than sex out of the deal and then gets upset that she wants more. I never warmed up to Grant in the book but I really liked Harley’s character. It was a good read but would have liked an epilogue and some more maturing by Grant.

The Paternity Pact by Cat Schield is book Three in the Texas Cattleman’s Club: Rages to Riches Series. This is the story of Grant Everett and Harley Wingate. I haven’t yet read the previous books, so for me this was a standalone book. Harley was a young women who just graduated from High School when she attends an event at the Cattleman’s Club. There she meets Grant who is a older successful man and they have a hot intense weekend where Grant gives into his feelings. But then everything is blow up when he finds out her age and he turns on her. Harley of course is hurt and leaves to head to Thailand to work on healing and to move forward. But she also has a secret that her weekend left her with more than hurt feelings. Now a few years later, Harley is back with her secret and meets Grant again. This is their second chance at love.
This story took one of my favorite themes: a second chance, and combined it with a theme that I always have mixed reactions to: secret baby. What came out of this blend was a wonderful surprise. I particularly liked how realistic the emotional reactions are in this book. As a human species we’re often irrational and defensive, and that came through clearly in Grant and Harley’s behavior. Grant is analytical and controlled, whereas Harley is emotional and impulsive. Together, they aren’t just like oil and water, they’re more like fire and gasoline; absolutely incendiary. They have the potential to bring out the best in other, instead they’re usually behaving their very worst. I really enjoyed watching this pair find their way together. And now I’m kind of inspired to read more about this latest foray back to the TCC.

From the moment that Grant and Harley met at the Texas Cattleman’s Club ball the sparks flew and they spent a steamy evening together. Instead of the beginning of a relationship it became the end when he found out a personal detail about Harley that he wasn’t comfortable with, and they took their hurt feelings and went their separate ways.
Five years later Harley has returned from living overseas for two reasons. One is to secure the backing for the charity she created and the other is to introduce her son to his father. Will this be their second chance or are they destined to end in heartbreak once again?
I really enjoyed both these characters as they both had the best of intentions when it came to their son. Their hearts have always known they have belonged to each other and now they just need to accept it in their heads.
This is my first book by this author and now I am hooked. I love second chance romances and this one sucked me in. The characters are lovable and the growth they go through had me enthralled. I couldn’t put it down.
An beautiful and heartwarming read that will keep you entertained throughout the story. It’s impossible not to be wrapped up immediately in this book. Once the story begins to unfold, it’s fast and keeps your wanting to know more.Hot and steamy at its best, you will not regret this book.

Wonderful book with Dr. Everett Grant and younger Harley Wingate who meet at a Gala and end up spending a steamy weekend together only for him to find out that she is only eighteen and much too young for him and he breaks her heart but saying some very hurtful words. Five years later after she moved to Thailand she returns with her child to help get funding for Zest the non profit she started that help women. This is their story that will pull you in and keep you turning the pages as you follow the story about how their relationship started and how it developed.
Grant and Harley had a one-night stand five years ago. Grant broke it off as soon as he realized how young Harley was. He is thirteen years older than her and she had just graduated high school. Grant has been married and divorced in the last 5 years and isn’t looking for a relationship. Harley is back in town and she is not alone. Grant finds out that he has a son with Harley. He still wants her but fights it. She won’t settle for less than everything. What’s going to happen?

Harley Wingate the youngest child of the Wingate with three older brothers Sebastian, Sutton and Miles and her sister Beth who planned the fund raiser for her non profit Zest they lived in Royal, Texas. Grant Everett was a fertility doctor. He helped young women, if he could to, have families. Grant met Harley at The Cattleman’s Club Gala and was enthralled by her. Grant had no idea that Harley was 18 years old and had just graduated high school. That night she looked older than what she was and so he didn’t bother to ask her, her age. They had a torrid weekend one night stand but at the end when he found out that she was only 18 he got really mad and said things he shouldn’t of said and said they couldn’t see each other anymore. What is that saying time brings about a change. Harley went to Thailand because she had a trust fund and she wanted to get as far away from Royal as possible. She also was pregnant with Grant’s child and her relatives from her mother Ava to her siblings were given her hard time about it. She went to Thailand and stayed their for five years until the funding for her non profit Zest needed more funding because the funding she got from her family company was no longer available because of the scandal that has been swirling around the company so they decided to cut off funding to her non profit so she needed to find funding for the charity.
So this the story of how Grant finds out about his son and his reaction and how he and Harley try to develop a relationship because of their son, but it is definitely going to be hard hill to climb, because Grant literally has cut his self off from any emotion concerning love after he married this women named Paisely after Harley left town. I enjoyed this story and would like to read some more stories in the Texas Cattleman’s Club: Rags to Riches.

I enjoyed reading about the journey to love and happiness. It was interesting to see how both characters handled their emotional baggage. Relationships really do take work and honesty. This was entertaining, sexy, with just enough family drama to be a good read.

3.5 stars ****. Grant is a fertility doctor still confused why Harley suddenly left town. Well, he can stop wondering because she is back with his unknown son in tow. His young son is none too happy to leave his friends in Thailand and being here without anyone he knows. It was not safe where he and his mother work for her charity. After proving his paternity, they have to figure out how to go forward. Her family has issues, so will she stay and what will happen with their son? Nicely written and enjoyable read.
