She showed up on my doorstep with a car seat and a note.
She's yours. Don't look for me.

Now there's a three-year-old girl asleep in my penthouse.
And the only woman I trust to help me?

Tessa Blake.
My sister's best friend.
The one I pushed away six months ago after she told me she loved me.

I told her we'd never happen. That she deserved better.
But now she's back in my home, wearing my hoodie, caring for my kid,
and looking at me like I'm the one who broke her.

And maybe I did.

But I'm not letting her go again.
Because I want her -- every breath, every smartass look, every soft sound she makes when she thinks I'm not listening.
She calms my daughter like she was born for it...

and drives me mad like she's the only thing I've ever needed.

But when someone from her past crosses a line?
I won't just protect her.

I'll ruin anyone who tries to take her away from me.

Read on for surprise single dad, best friend's little sister, forced proximity in a luxury penthouse, found family with a side of jealousy, one bed (eventually), a toddler who melts stone walls, and a grumpy hockey player falling harder than he ever meant to. She showed up to help with the baby. She might leave with his heart. HEA guaranteed.
