Finding a toddler on my doorstep? Not exactly how I planned for the day to go.
Zara Thompson has loved sexy, ex-Marine Garrett Carson since college—but he was in love with her best friend. For the past twelve years, Zara has kept her secret and her heart guarded.
Then a woman shows up on Garrett’s doorstep with a toddler and a shocking claim: the little girl is his daughter, and her mother—Zara’s former best friend—is dead, killed in a tragic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Now, Garrett is juggling fatherhood, a looming book deadline, a frightened toddler who won’t go near him, and a live-in nanny who refuses to warm up to Zara—especially after she witnesses an unexpected and steamy kiss between Zara and Garrett.
A steamy kiss that sends their close friendship into a tailspin…
But as Zara focuses on expanding her small-town café and helping Garrett be a father, a mix of circumstances beyond her control and buried secrets conspire against her…threatening Zara’s chance at a happily ever after with the man her heart refuses to give up on.

Zara has been friends with Garrett since they were children however before she gathered the strength to tell him how she felt he began a relationship with her friend Kendra, so she never told him how she felt. She has moved forward with her life and is focused on her career but when Garrett finds out he is a father she doesn’t hesitate to be there for him to help with the transition.
After leaving the Marines Garrett returned home and is now an accomplished author whose book is about to be turned into a screenplay. Having a woman suddenly appearing in his life advising him that Peony is his daughter and that she is his nanny turns his world upside down especially when there are so many questions surrounding Kendra’s death.
This is a heartwarming story about two people who have always belonged together, but life got in the way. During the story they are both going through a tumultuous time which only reinforces that as long as they are together they can overcome anything.
