Triple R Ranch: Triple R Baby: #3
Zach, the youngest Ray brother, was feeling the pinch of being the odd man out. With Colt finding love with Hedli and Bucky grappling with his feelings for Ali, Zach felt increasingly adrift and, perhaps, a little lonely. After meeting Ali and seeing the sparks, a restless energy took hold of him, pushing him towards the bottom of a bottle. His increased drinking led to more than a few clashes with his brothers, who worried about his sudden downward spiral. Being the only single man on the Triple R felt less like freedom and more like a curse.
Meanwhile, Kat Edwards, a woman with a name that spoke volumes about her connections, worked diligently at the feed store in Marshall. She was related to the town mayor and, more significantly for the Ray brothers, to Sawyer, their known enemy. Kat took pride in her work, ensuring every customer left with a smile and the right order. Her life, for the most part, was orderly and predictable.
But predictability was shattered two months after her birthday. A night at a bar, fueled by drinks and a potent mix of loneliness and reckless abandon, had thrown her and Zach together. What happened between them was a blurred memory until Kat stared at the confirmation in her hand. She was pregnant. With Zach Ray's child. And Kat Edwards, with her family's reputation and her sense of justice, now had a serious bone to pick with the youngest Ray brother.
What happens when Kat confronts Zach about the pregnancy? Does she seek him out at the ranch, or does their confrontation happen elsewhere? And how do Zach's brothers react when this explosive news inevitably comes out?
