One night. One mistake. One baby on his doorstep.

TYLER WEST


He screwed up. One night, one mistake, and now there’s a baby on his doorstep. He’s eight hours from anyone he trusts, getting torn apart by his new team, and has no idea how to keep a kid alive. When he calls someone from his past in a panic, she brings reinforcements and a nanny who’s way too pretty for his peace of mind.

NORA COLLINS

She needed this job. Badly. Moving to Ridgeport for a fresh start seemed like the right call, until she showed up for an interview and found a professional hockey player who looked two seconds from a breakdown, holding a screaming baby like it might explode. But the pay is good, the baby is sweet, and Tyler West, despite being a mess, might be the best thing that’s happened to her in a long time.

What starts as a professional arrangement turns into late nights, shared exhaustion, and a connection neither of them saw coming. But when the baby’s mother reappears and threatens everything Tyler’s built, he’ll have to fight for his daughter, and figure out if Nora was ever just the nanny, or if she became his family too.

He never planned on being a father.

But falling for her? That was the most unexpected goal of all.
