When a surprise baby lands on charming billionaire Jude's doorstep, he makes a deal with his best friend to help him navigate fatherhood in exchange for a place to stay—but there's one problem: they can't seem to remember (or forget) that explosive kiss from a night that's still fuzzy for both of them. As they settle into playing house together, the line between pretend and real starts to blur dangerously, especially when stolen glances and midnight moments remind them exactly why they've been trying so hard to stay just friends. What starts as a convenient arrangement becomes anything but when you're sharing a home, caring for an adorable baby girl, and trying desperately not to fall for someone you've been protecting your heart from all along. Get ready for that swoony, slow-burn romance where the domestic chaos of sudden parenthood becomes the most unexpectedly perfect backdrop for two people realizing they might be exactly what each other needs.
