In One Night in Texas by Linda Warren, Angie Wiznowski has been keeping a secret for the past ten years from everyone. Form her family she ahs been hiding the real identity of her daughter’s father, while she has been hiding her daughter’s existence from him.

Now she is celebrating her daughter’s tenth birthday with her friends and family, when her daughter Erin runs after her ball and right into the street in the path of a coming truck.

Life sometimes takes choices out of your hands…

Hardy was on his way to meet with his father and his girlfriend for lunch when he hit Erin. He immediately got out of the car to see what he had done and found Erin with a broken leg and a hit on her head. Now he will not leave until he knows that she will be all right. Making Angie very nervous about his presence, especially since he keeps insisting that she should notify Erin’s father of the accident.

Angie tried to put off telling Hardy as long as she could, but under the pressure of her baby being in surgery and Hardy’s presence and insistence that she contact Erin’s father makes her break down and tell him that he is the father.

Hardy never believed that he could have left Angie pregnant after the one and only time they were together ten years ago, he did use protection, but nothing is 100% safe as he just discovered. He tries to blames her for not telling him, but after she tells him how and why she could not tell him he has to accept that he was partly at fault.

Now Hardy wants to spend time with his daughter and get to know her after loosing ten years of her life. But first Angie has to break the news to her about Hardy being her biological father, and not the man that Angie married after she found out she was pregnant. Then she has to face her family and let them know too, even though she knows that she will be a disappointment to her mother who was always very strict and religious.

Not only that, there is also Hardy’s girlfriend who will not be happy about him having a daughter and wants to sweep her under the rug in order to continue with Hardy’s career so he can become a judge.

Things are about to get really complicated for Hardy and Angie, but they must put Erin’s welfare and happiness first, even if that means going against their families and putting off their careers. But the more time they spend together, the more Angie realizes that she never got over her crush and young love for Hardy, while Hardy will have to realize that his attraction to Angie is still there and it was never a mistake as he called it back then.

This was a nice story all around, I liked both Angie and Hardy even if I didn’t like that Hardy had a bit of a superiority complex and was a bit selfish, while Angie was the complete opposite and was afraid to do anything and no longer be the good girl in her family, which led her to lying to them for the past ten years about Erin’s father. But overall it was a nice reunion.

If you want a sweet and heartwarming second chance story with a sweet girl and many challenges ahead for her parents, you will like One Night in Texas by Linda Warren.
