Colter Callahan loves three things: animals, work, and women—not necessarily in that order. Which is why owning the local animal hospital should be a dream come true. That is, until his vixen of a vet tech shows up—smart, sassy, and absolutely impossible to ignore. The problem? She’s his employee, a single mom, and off-limits in every way that counts. Did he mention the age gap?

Sutton Rose has her own secrets. She’s raising a little girl no one expected her to keep. Thanks to a clinic mix-up, the intended parents vanished, leaving surrogate Sutton stuck with the kid. And the kicker? The baby’s biological dad is… Colter. Only he has no clue. So Sutton slides into his world under the guise of his new intern, trying to figure out if he’s the man she wants—for her daughter, and maybe herself.

Of course, secrets have a way of coming out swinging. When Colter finally pieces it together, he’s furious, confused, and more than a little smitten. But as chaos, laughter, and sparks fly, Colter and Sutton have to decide: do they play it safe, or dive headfirst into the messy, irresistible family life waiting just for them?
