Grizzly Man’s Baby Surprise by Layla Valentine

One unexpected night. One life-changing surprise.
Neither of them planned for a baby, but it might be exactly what they need…

HIM
I built my life in the mountains for a reason: no noise, no expectations, no one to let down but myself.
Then she shows up.
Bright. Talkative. Completely out of place on my ranch… and refusing to leave.
Kyra Powell gets under my skin faster than I can shut her out.
She works hard, smiles too much, and somehow makes this place feel less empty.
I tell myself she’s temporary. That she has to be.
But one stormy night changes everything…
And now, she’s carrying my child!
And all I can think about is how badly I’m going to fail them both…

HER
I’ve spent years watching everyone else move forward while I stayed stuck in the same small town, same life, same expectations.
So when I see an ad for a ranch job in the mountains, I don’t think, I just go.
I just never expected to meet Adam Sage.
He’s grumpy, guarded, and about as welcoming as a locked gate… but there’s something about him I can’t ignore.
Beneath all that silence is a man who’s hurting, and one I can’t help but want.
Working beside him starts to feel like home.
Falling for him? That was never part of the plan.
And neither was the baby…
