Birkfield, California ~ Present Day

Jackson King watched his brothers marry for convenience, then watched them also fall in love with their brides. Figuring he could do the same, Jackson is about to ask the daughter of a business associate to marry him. However, an encounter with a mysterious woman that leads to a night of passion between them has Jackson hesitating. When this same woman contacts him days later for a meeting, he arrives to discover that she is the mother of a daughter he never knew existed.

Casey Davis wanted a child so badly that she used a sperm bank. But an anonymous tip provided her with the name of her baby’s father: Jackson King. Casey feels duty bound to at least let Jackson know he is a father, but first she has to make sure he is. Her one night with Jackson provided the DNA. Now the hard part is informing him that he is a daddy and, oh, by the way, we never want to see you again. But when Jackson learns he is a daddy, there is no way he’s going to let his daughter, or Casey, out of his life.

Jackson is a man drifting in a sea of meaningless relationships and is about to ask a woman he doesn’t love to marry him. One look at Casey has him unable to forget her, to the point he’s already searching for her when she contacts him. Jackson is immediately suspicious of Casey’s reasons for informing him that he is a father, but one look at little Mia has his heart melting…for both females! Casey’s trying to remain independent but do the right thing for her daughter, which is difficult with Jackson waving around his ability to provide for them handsomely. Jackson practically forces her and Mia to move into his home, and once under the same roof, will Casey and Jackson rekindle the passion they shared? And what about the woman Jackson is about to propose to? Will she play a part in Casey and Jackson’s future?

FALLING FOR KING’S FORTUNE is the third and final installment of the Kings of California, though I suspect there will be more stories in the near future about King cousins. As always, Maureen Child has crafted a passionate, entertaining tale which will grab you from the very first page. Whatever the motives Casey and Jackson start out with, they’re soon swept away into a vortex of desire for each other. The tie that brings them together is Mia, but it is love that could bind them forever.

Don’t miss this exciting tale of wealth, love and a baby, all of which makes FALLING FOR KING’S FORTUNE a must read to savor and enjoy.
