Fortune’s Baby Dilemma

By Tif Marcelo

On Sale: 9/29/2026
A baby he’d never known about…

A woman he’d never dreamed of!

When former military man Jagger Fortune learns that he’s the dad of an orphaned infant, his entire world spins out of orbit. Especially when his ex’s best friend arrives on his doorstep—literally—with one singular purpose: to seize custody of the baby! Whip-smart Tala Aquino has spent her entire life chasing success. But with a child’s well-being at stake, Tala’s not thinking about her career—only what’s best for little Noah. She even moves into Jagger’s Emerald Ridge ranch to help with childcare duties. The last thing the no-nonsense consultant expected? To fall for the man she’d mistakenly believed wasn’t up for fatherhood… And just maybe, to build a forever family together.
