Twenty-five year old Arden Cade, a successful photographer, is still dealing with the loss of her sister- in-law, also her best friend, as well as her baby nephew. Her older brother Colin lost his wife and child from a tragic auto accident a year ago, with only his sister Arden and brother Justin to help him through his darkest days. Arden has no one to confide in as both parents have been dead since shortly after she was 5 years old. Caught up in sexual passion during photographing a wedding, Arden has spent the most passionate night of forgetting her sorrows with the devastating cowboy, a guest at the wedding. Unaccustomed to picking up a stranger, Arden is happy that she had someone to help her through that anniversary of her loss, while also shocked at her own actions.

Six months later Arden is pregnant and planning to raise the child on her own. That is, until the sexy, mind blowing cowboy shows up to visit his newly married friends, taking a hiatus from his own devastating recovery of news from his own mother and father. Garrett Frost loves his Colorado ranch but needed this time away. He certainly didn't expect to see Arden again, and definitely not pregnant. By deduction from information he gleamed from his friends, the timing matched his one night of love with the beauty. Confronting Arden is the beginning of their plan on how to proceed, with each agreeing their relationship would be strictly platonic. As each deals with their own skeletons, each realizes the passion is still just below the surface. But can Garrett rekindle a love with the gorgeous woman carrying his baby and convince her to agree when the word love is avoided and a solution that is "good for the baby" is offered?

Tanya Michaels has written a very warm and compassionate story with very appealing and loving people complete with supportive families. The ups and downs of this couple are both humorous and sexy. HER SECRET HIS BABY is the first book of The Colorado Cades trilogy and I can't wait until the second tale is released. This is one I will NOT miss. This kept my interest and made it very difficult to put the book down. Tanya Michaels is an extremely talented woman that knows how to keep a read exciting, warm and sexy, and has the ability to feel what the characters' are feeling. I highly recommend HER SECRET HIS BABY.
