The Orchard: Lexi's Secret

Lexi Monroe finds her life getting more and more interesting by the minute. Just when she thinks she’s finally starting to settle in to her new life back at home on the ranch, something else happens to throw her off balance.
Two days after Cole pointed out that their one night of passion could have serious consequences, Lexi found herself spending each and every morning hunched over the toilet. She was all too familiar with this routine, as she had experienced it before when she was pregnant with Jax. The possibility that she could be carrying Cole’s child was becoming more and more real each and every day, and she found herself worrying about how he would react. She also has to figure out how to buy a home pregnancy test without the entire town finding out. That could be difficult.
If that’s not enough, Lexi’s lead foot finally catches up with her and ends with a speeding ticket and a hefty fine, something that Cole would not be happy about. In the interest of saving her bottom from his old-fashioned discipline, Lexi decides to keep the ticket a secret. Her plan would have worked great if Cole wasn’t friends with the cop that pulled her over.
Will she be able to keep the ticket a secret?
Is the nausea she’s dealing with morning sickness?
How will Cole react if she is carrying his child?
