When a guarded single dad and a cautious good girl cross paths over interior design swatches and stolen glances, neither is looking for anything real—but their sizzling chemistry has other plans. Quinn is too focused on his precious daughter and his business to risk his carefully ordered life, while Chloe just wants to indulge in a little harmless fun after being burned by love before. What starts as a fun fling threatens to become so much more when an irresistible four-year-old and genuine connection get in the way of their best intentions. This is the perfect second-chance romance for anyone who loves watching guarded hearts slowly melt under the warmth of unexpected love.
