Houston, Texas – Present Day

Three years ago, Vivi Donner and Camden McNeal had a one-night fling, though they never exchanged last names. So, imagine his confusion when he's called to the local hospital because he's listed as the contact person for a woman who was in an accident after her car was swept away by flooding. To his surprise, it's his mystery woman from three years ago, Vivi. Cam gets an even bigger surprise when she informs him that he is the father of her two-year-old daughter. Now he will do whatever it takes to claim his daughter. Will this include claiming Vivi?

Vivi only learned a few months ago her child's father's last name when Cam walked into the restaurant where she is the chef and she asked a fellow employee who he was. She has waffled over whether to tell him about their daughter, Clem, but is worried how he'll react. Putting him down as her emergency contact was in case something happened to her and he could then raise Clem. Now she has to deal with the fallout of not telling him about their daughter. Cam becomes like a bull in a china shop as he makes decisions for her and Clem that leave her frustrated. Vivi's mother is a controlling person and pretty much gave Vivi a choice of getting an abortion or moving out. She loves Clem too much and doesn't regret choosing her daughter.

Cam was raised by a con artist father who used him as a pawn in his con games. As such, Cam doesn't trust people who claim to care for him and has built a wall around his heart. After he pushes Vivi and Clem to move into his house, they do grow closer. But as Cam and Vivi soon drift into a sexual relationship, the harder it becomes for him to think there could be any chance of a future together for them. Can Cam trust Vivi…and love her?

THAT NIGHT IN TEXAS is an emotional tale of a couple who had an anonymous fling and now must deal with the fact they have a child together. Neither expected—or wants—marriage at this time because they don't trust love. Vivi wants to remain independent, but Cam wants to force her to accept his help, even as he won't say the three little words she wants to hear. As part of the  Texas Cattleman's Club: Houston  series, this tale continues the tense relationship between Angela and Ryder, with the pressure of her father to make sure they don't get together. Add in the mystery of a murder that apparently occurred at the club, then things are beginning to heat up.

A little girl brings her parents together in THAT NIGHT IN TEXAS and readers will be rooting for Cam and Vivi to work things out and make them a family. Don't miss this heartwarming tale.
