"An extraordinary new series...."

For three men, saving the life of John Frates was their job. They never expected to be rewarded in any way for doing it. But when John and his wife are killed in a boating accident, these three men find out just how much John appreciated them. Each is left an inheritance in John's will. Here is Colonel Michael Remington's story.

Mike Remington never expected to receive anything for saving John Frates' life. It was his job to do so. He knew that John wanted to include him in his will. That was fine with Mike, but when sexy lawyer Savannah Clay announces that he not only inherited over a million dollars and a house, but a baby too, Mike is more than stunned. There is no way he can take care of a baby. He has a life of his own to live and no matter how much John respected him, Mike doesn't want the responsibility of a child.

Savannah Clay cannot believe that Mike wants nothing to do with John's daughter. But she is going to do anything she can to persuade him to take care of the baby girl. Savannah knows just what it is like being shoved into the system, going from one foster home to another, looking for someone to love you and she is determined to make sure little Jessie doesn't ever have to go through that. So when Mike makes the comment to marry him, Savannah ends up with perfect solution. They stay married for a year, adopt Jessie and then Mike can walk away, leaving Savannah custody of Jessie.

A perfect plan indeed, but then the sparks really fly and the sexual tension between them pulls these two together constantly, leaving Mike and Savannah with feelings neither of them counted on. Will either of them be able to walk away or will the love for one little girl and their growing desire keep them together forever?

Sara Orwig starts off her new series, Stallion Pass: Texas Knights with a bang. Mike is one of those heroes who is rough around the edges at first, but turns out to be an overall awesome guy. Seeing him fall in love with little Jessie was as much fun as seeing him fall in love with Savannah. SHUT UP AND KISS ME is sure to whet your romance appetite and will have you ready to devour the next book in the series, BRING ON THE NIGHT.

Summary

Colonel Mike Remington wasn't a man who backed away from a challenge. But the tough, combat-hardened Special Forces officer knew he was way out of his league when he cradled an adorable baby in his arms — and an elegant, enticing lady lawyer told him he was the little girl's brand- new "daddy"....

The only solution to his sudden baby problem was marriage — in name only — to the lady lawyer herself. But the more time he spent on a secluded Texas ranch with the beautiful, sensual Savannah Clay — and the more "innocent" kisses they shared — the more he ached to see this make-believe marriage turn into the real deal....
