Breed True — Gem Sivad

A book in the Eclipse Heat series.

Julie Fulton fears she's made a devil's bargain when she agrees to marry Grady Hawks and produce an heir. At the end of a year, child or not, Julie will receive enough money to escape to San Francisco and leave behind her rough existence.

Grady intends to breed back to the Scottish features of his father, and Julie's red hair and pale skin are an excellent way to dilute Grady's half-Kiowa blood. If Julie breeds true, their child will prove that the Hawks family is “white” enough to own Texas land.

The formula is right, but the outcome, unexpected. Siring a son is the last thing on Grady's mind when he discovers pleasure in Julie's bed. And San Francisco no longer seems like paradise to Julie when she finds heaven in Grady's arms.

Publisher's Note: This book was previously published elsewhere in 2010, but has been significantly revised and expanded for EC.
