A surprise single dad, small town romantic suspense… I’m the last guy on the planet who should be a dad. My life is chaos. My sins written dark and deep. So, imagine my surprise when my doorbell rings and I open it to find the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen standing on the other side. And she’s holding the hand of a little girl who looks just like me. Emery tells me her sister, the child’s mother, is dead. I feel like dirt since she’s a woman I can hardly remember, and it’s no wonder Emery doesn’t trust that I’m worthy of caring for her niece. But I can’t turn my back, and I insist on raising Maci. So, we strike a deal—she’ll stay with me for one month to ensure the little girl is safe. Emery tries to hate me for who I am, but neither of us can resist the attraction that blazes between us. One brush of her hand, and she has me on my knees. One kiss, and I’m falling fast. Soon, we find ourselves tangled in my sheets. But when it’s discovered her sister’s death wasn’t accidental, the secret life I’ve been living collides with the past Emery has tried to keep hidden. And when the fiends come back to finish the job they started, I’m in a race against time to save the two people who I’ve come to love most…
