From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Secret Baby Scandal (Bayou Billionaires, #4) . . .
Jean-Pierre was my favorite of the Bayou Billionaires. Oh how delicious. The least seen of the brother but by far worth the wait. There were aspects that could have run into the norm of athlete and coach's daughter but I did not fill drawn into them. There was more here.
Watching all the secrets and scandals unfold has been fun. I wonder what new will be in store for the remaining Reynaud family members. I can just see a spin-off coming.

Blurb
His
proposition: pretend they’re a couple to end a scandal. But she has secrets of
her own…
Tatiana
Doucet has dealt with sexy, arrogant athletes most of her life. But Jean-Pierre
Reynaud is a whole different animal—in bed and on the field. Unbeknownst to
him, their one amazing night produced a son. Now her family’s biggest football rival is back, offering a seductive wager she can’t
refuse.
Jean-Pierre
despises the media. When rumors fly, he knows a fake relationship is the
perfect diversion for the tabloids—and Tatiana’s unbridled passion is the
perfect diversion for Jean-Pierre. But when she drops a baby bombshell, the scandal
will rock them both!

…Darting back the way
she came, she turned a corner and nearly plowed right into none other than
Jean-Pierre himself.
“Oh!” With a yelp of
surprise, she gripped his forearm to stay upright.
“Shh,” Jean-Pierre
warned her, tucking her under his arm and pressing a finger to her lips.
“There’s a camera crew just down that hallway.” He nodded to the ramp just
ahead on his right.
Tatiana tensed at his
touch. His scent. His maleness. She’d spent so long avoiding him, but in spite
of all logic, he affected her. At six-three, and at this close range, he had to
peer down at her, his brown eyes flecked with hints of gold and green. She’d
fallen for him hard back in prep school, a young love that had only felt more
poignant after they’d been torn apart by their families’ sudden rift. They’d
both moved on, of course, two thousand miles of separation proving as effective
a deterrent as the well-publicized feud. But when he’d joined the Gladiators
and she’d seen him at the occasional party, she’d been as drawn to him as ever.
It had been an attraction that hadn’t been reciprocated, judging by his cold
words about her court case last winter. She still didn’t understand how that
terse confrontation in the courtroom had turned so heated.
Now, heart hammering,
she simply nodded, knowing they needed to avoid the press. Heaven forbid the
media were to overhear what she had to tell Jean-Pierre.
He frowned down at
her, not moving.
“What?” she
whispered, shaky and off-balance as she peered up into his shadowed face.
“We could let them
find us,” he suggested, his gaze roving over her as he seemed to weigh the
idea. “They could photograph us kissing.”
The mention of
kissing should not have sent a bolt of lightning through her. Especially when
Jean-Pierre seemed to be mulling over the idea with the same attention he might
give a playbook. Dispassionate. Assessing.
“Are you insane?” Her
whisper notched up an octave as she grabbed his sleeve and tugged him in the
other direction.
Not that he moved….
