Sarah Anderson - His Illegitimate Heir

This boss broke all the rules for just one night—a night with consequences...

A Beaumont by blood, Zeb Richards has waited years to take the company that’s rightfully his. But ownership of the Beaumont Brewery means dealing with a formidable adversary: brewmaster Casey Johnson. She’s insubordinate and opinionated—so why does Zeb burn to lay claim to the tempestuous beauty?

Casey earned her place at the company she loves, and no CEO—no matter how irresistible—will come between her and her ambitions. Until one night of wild abandon shifts the balance of power. Now Casey is falling for her boss...and expecting his baby!

Casey got her beer and moved off to the side. It was then she noticed that Zeb’s eyes hadn’t left her.

A shiver of heat went through her because Zeb’s gaze was intense. He looked at her like...like she didn’t even know what. She wasn’t sure she wanted to find out because what if he could see right through her?

What if he could see how much she was attracted to him?

This was a bad idea. She was on a date with her brand-new CEO and he was hot and funny and brooding all at once and they were drinking their chief competitor’s product and...

Zeb glanced over at her as he paid for his food and shot another warm grin at her.

And she was in trouble. Big, big trouble.

Welcome back to Colorado! The Beaumont Heirs are one of Denver’s oldest, most preeminent families. The Beaumont Heirs are the children of Hardwick Beaumont. Although he’s been dead for almost a decade, Hardwick’s womanizing ways—the four marriages and divorces, the ten children and uncounted illegitimate children—are still leaving ripples in the Beaumont family.

Especially now that some of those illegitimate children are revealing themselves. Zeb Richards has always known he was Hardwick Beaumont’s son—but no one else did. The fact that he was unacknowledged ate away at him, and he vowed to get even with the Beaumonts, one way or the other. He finally has his birthright—the brewery and the Beaumont name. Nothing can ruin his revenge.

Except for one outspoken brewmaster. When Casey Johnson bursts into Zeb’s office, she’s stunned to realize that Zeb is a Beaumont. She expects him to fire her—but she doesn’t expect the sparks that fly. Things heat up between Casey and Zeb—but when plans go out the window, will he stand by her or do what his father did and hide the problem?

His Illegitimate Heir is a sensual story about fighting for your dreams and falling in love. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it! Be sure to stop by sarahmanderson.comand sign up for my newsletter at eepurl.com/nv39bto join me as I say, Long Live Cowboys!
