One impulsive bid at a bachelor auction. One night that changes everything. Bailey thought she was just helping a good cause—not landing herself a date with the hottest soldier she'd ever laid eyes on. A few drinks, a lot of laughter, and a night of explosive passion later, she’s sure she’ll never see Jimmy again. After all, soldiers don’t stick around... do they? Jimmy Erickson wasn't looking for forever. Haunted by a toxic family past, he’s sworn off attachments. But Bailey is different—and one night with her isn't nearly enough. When a surprise pregnancy ties them together for life, Jimmy realizes he wants more than a memory. He wants a future. But someone else wants Bailey—and they’ll do anything to claim her. As old fears clash with new love, Jimmy must prove that this time, he's not running. He’s fighting for her. For their baby. For the family he never knew he needed. Will one soldier’s second chance be enough to win the only battle that truly matters—the fight for love?
