Free Reunited...With Child by Katherine Garbera

think that you should accept that nothing is going to ever be as perfect in the real world as you want it to be.”
    Cam tucked that nugget away for later contemplation. He wasn’t going to change overnight or probably at all. He was too set in his ways.
    â€œSo who’s the designer?” Nate asked.
    â€œBecca Tuntenstall. She used to work for Russell Holloway.”
    â€œAre you sure she’s the right choice? We don’t want our club to look like Russell’s.” Nate scratched the back of his head. “It’s hardly my area of expertise. I just want to make sure I’m asking the right questions now that Justin is out of state.”
    Justin was their corporate attorney and handled most of the legal problems that cropped up. Recently, he’d negotiated a deal with the local community leaders to launch the Luna Azul Mercado, an upscale shopping center to complement the nightclub. It was fair to all parties involved, and Justin had wrangled himself a fiancée out the deal.
    Cam didn’t know what was going on with his brothers up and getting engaged.
    He smiled at his little brother. Nate had always been the charmer—the one who skated through life with a smile. Now he was stepping up, and Cam was proud of him.
    â€œShe’s done some work for other chains, as well. She’s the best designer for the job,” Cam said. He’d already decided to give the assignment to Becca if she proved worthy. He couldn’t uproot her life and not provide some work for her. Besides, he wanted her completely under his control. He was going to make her regret not coming to him when she’d first found out she was pregnant.
    Nate’s expression changed. “Is she more than a designer to you?”
    Cam hesitated. He wasn’t the type of person to talk about the women he was involved with, even to his brothers. Plus, she was the mother of his child…something that he had absolutely no idea how to tell his brothers. He wanted everything with Becca and Ty figured out and wrapped up before he said anything to either of them.
    â€œYes, she is.”
    â€œWow. You haven’t been seriously involved with a woman since Myra.”
    Myra had been a mistake, and he’d been too young and too eager to have it all with her. Myra was the woman who’d brought the paternity suit against him. Did he just have bad taste in women or what? Myrahad wanted him to pay for another man’s mistake, and Becca didn’t think he was worthy of his own son.
    â€œShe’s not really like Myra.”
    â€œI didn’t mean to imply that she was. How about if you bring Becca to our rehearsal dinner Friday night? A nice casual affair, and I think it would be nice to meet this gal.”
    But Cam wasn’t sure that he was ready for that. “I’ll let you know.”
    â€œWhy not?” Nate asked. “If you are serious about her, I want to meet her and get to know her.”
    Cam rubbed his hand over the back of his neck and tried to find the right words to say to his brother. “We had an affair a few years ago and it ended abruptly, so this time I’m trying to get to know her more slowly. Listen, there is more going on than a normal relationship.”
    â€œHanging out with the family doesn’t seem slow enough to you?” Nate asked.
    â€œI don’t know, Nate,” Cam said. He stopped and took a deep breath. “Um…I have a son and Becca’s the mom. I just found out about it and moved her down here, but I have no idea what we are going to do next.”
    Now it was Nate’s turn to pause. His eyes widened.
    â€œI have a nephew?”
    â€œYes.”
    â€œHow dare she keep him from us?” Nate said.
    Cam smiled. Nate was always there for him and Justin. They had always been close, and family was more important to them than anything else. “I said the same thing. I have her in my house with my son and I have to
