“Who the heck leaves a baby in a box on the doorstep of a professional football player?” Dylan Callahan’s career needs a jump start. Between dropping passes and dropping sponsors, it’s only a matter of time before he’s traded away from his team. But what he really didn’t expect was to get a baby dropped on his front porch, with a note saying it’s his. So he does what anyone would do. He buys a goat to feed the baby goat’s milk. Natalie’s job in the ER keeps her busy, and she thought she was used to surprises, but that’s before a goat appears outside her apartment door. Natalie doesn’t have time for football or flings, but she can’t leave a baby in need. Agreeing to help Dylan while they wait for paternity results, she quickly learns there’s more to him than his cocky grin and impressive stats. Between late-night feedings, hilarious mishaps, and one very opinionated goat, the line between teammates and something more starts to blur. As the stakes rise on and off the field, can Dylan and Natalie make the play? Or will they lose the game of love?
