The Bravo Bachelor, by Christine Rimmer

To my recollection, this is my first novel by Ms Rimmer. Published by Silhouette Special Edition, The Bravo Bachelor is a new installment in a long running series of novels, some more loosely connected than others, about the Bravo family from Texas.

Here’s the back cover blurb:

One visit to her ranch had landed him in the delivery room!

All Gabe Bravo wanted was to convince Mary Hofstetter to sell him her land. But the young widow had barely told him to hightail it off her property before going into labor. Being an honorable Bravo bachelor, he stayed by her side, even after her little bundle of joy appeared.

There was no denying Gabe had declared himself permanently single-and proud of it. But with his feelings for Mary growing deeper, he was suddenly torn: walk away from mother and child, or do what he’d sworn he’d never do-get hitched!

Bravo Family Ties – stronger than ever.
