Smooth Talking Stranger

by Lisa Kleypas

First published 2009

Jack Travis has perfected the art of being a wealthy Texas bachelor. He avoids commitments, enjoys the company of many women, and pursues pleasure without complications. His carefree existence shatters when an angry woman arrives at his home carrying an infant. She claims Jack fathered the child and identifies herself as the baby's aunt. The real mother walked away, leaving her more dependable sister to handle the mess. Now Jack must confront something entirely foreign to his lifestyle: taking responsibility for another human being. The woman who disrupted his world refuses to make this easy for him. As Jack grapples with unexpected fatherhood, he discovers that this crisis might transform more than just his daily routine. The baby's fierce aunt challenges everything he thought he wanted from life.
