Royal, Texas – Present Day

Five years ago was the worst time of journalist Willa St. Germaine’s career. She lost out on a coveted news story that would rock the country, and she broke off a relationship with her boss, Jack Chowdhry. For two years she lay low, not wanting to reveal to the world, and especially Jack, that she’d given birth to his daughter. But now she is in pursuit of a story assigned to her by her new employer, which involves running into Jack again. She must interview Jack and hopefully, she can get it done and be out of Royal before she falls under his charms again. Alas, luck is not on Willa’s side. 

Jack was only protecting Willa from the mafia when he pulled her from the assignment about a corrupt mayor in New York City. He then gave it to another journalist, who ended up nearly paying for her life afterward. But Willa isn’t aware of this information because she was so angry that she quit her job and walked out of his life. He didn’t want to happen to Willa what happened to his sister—a death caused by the mob. Meanwhile, the sparks soon start flying again between Jack and Willa. He convinces her to stay on in hopes of rekindling their romance. But how will Jack feel when he learns about the daughter that she never told him about? 

So many secrets are flying under the radar in PATERNITY PAYBACK. Readers learn early on that Willa had a daughter with Jack and that she never forgave him for taking her off that job assignment. She also thought he was having an affair with the reporter to whom he reassigned the story. Jack didn’t tell Willa that he was about to propose to her, but the biggest secret he kept from her was the truth about his sister’s death. Turns out, his sister was targeted by the mafia to send a message to Jack to stop investigating the mayor. Yes, it is all complicated and convoluted, but by the end, it’s all sorted out. But the big question is whether Jack and Willa can salvage the love they clearly have for each other. 

PATERNITY PAYBACK is another tale in the Texas Cattleman’s series about dating apps and some missing diamonds. Most of the drama surrounding both has been solved. The series has one more story and then it’s over. In PATERNITY PAYBACK, we only see a few glimpses of other characters from the prior stories. This tale is mostly about Willa and Jack rediscovering their love—and him learning he is a father. Will it all end on a happy note for them? Find out by picking up a copy of this sizzling and intriguing tale.
