One night. One secret. One second chance at love.

Trauma surgeon Luke Porter has spent five years hiding behind long shifts and emotional distance, determined never to love again after losing his wife. A medical conference in Portland is just another obligation, until a chance encounter at the hotel bar leads to an unforgettable night with a beautiful, guarded stranger.

Bella Nolan built her catering business from the ground up. She doesn't rely on anyone, especially not men. So when a single night of passion leaves her pregnant, she decides to handle it the only way she knows how: alone.

Six months later, fate intervenes.

When Bella shows up in Luke's ER -- very pregnant and very familiar -- their carefully ordered lives collide. Luke is forced to confront the possibility of fatherhood... and feelings he swore he'd buried forever. Bella must decide whether independence is worth the cost of pushing away the one man willing to stand beside her.

As they navigate bed rest, buried grief, and the fragile hope of becoming a family, Luke and Bella are soon to discover that love isn't about avoiding loss... it's about choosing each other anyway.
