When Clara shows up at Dalton's door with life-changing news, this banker's carefully constructed walls start crumbling fast. He's still reeling from a painful divorce and terrified of letting anyone close, but the thought of building a family with the woman he never stopped wanting proves impossible to resist. Clara wants more than a marriage of convenience for their baby's sake, but watching Dalton fight so hard for them both is testing her resolve in the best way. It's a swoon-worthy second-chance romance about two people learning that sometimes the family you didn't plan for is exactly the one that heals your heart.
