THE BABY INHERITANCE by Tina Radcliffe is the fabulously written, heart tugging story of Drew Morgan and Sadie Ross – complete opposites thrown together when named guardians of sweet, innocent six-month-old Mae Anne Franklin. Drew is the manager of Lazy M Ranch – the ranch his father bought years before. Although he graduated college with thoughts of becoming an architecture, the sudden death of his parents had Drew returning home to Homestead Pass, Oklahoma to follow in his father’s footsteps along side his three brothers and his grandfather, Gus, to keep the ranch running to fulfill his father’s dream. Although at the time he didn’t see it that way, now it’s an occupation in which he couldn’t see himself doing anything else. Manage a large ranch, see to the cattle and see over a big crew - he can do that and does it very well. However, romance or having a meaningful relationship seemed to have avoided him. After a few horrible mishaps in that direction, he’s content to be a bachelor and leaves the chasing after women or the idea of romance to his brothers. The one great downside to his life was the death of his one great friend - Jase, who died all to young and leaving a great whole in his life.

When Drew and Sadie were called to the lawyer’s office, each had no idea why they were there and greatly surprised to see the other there as well. After Jase and Delia’s sudden death, their infant child, Mae, was cared for by her grandmother, Helen Franklin, but severe health issues leave her no choice but relinquish that care to another. As godparents, Drew and Sadie where the logical choice. However, since they aren’t married, they have to choose which one will be considered for permanent primary guardian in order to complete the application process. Two single people with jobs that definitely aren’t really designed with children in mind – meaning their work demands a lot of their time at any time of the day or night either by choice or demand. They seem to be opposites in everything. Drew is more of a hands-on person learni...
