A career woman. A divorced dad. And a connection they can't seem to break. Andie Werking has never worried about finding true love. She's been busy building a successful small business and a few tight friendships. But now, at thirty-eight, her "no kids" decision seems to have left her permanently single. Until Joe McIntyre walks into her life with a chance for that happily ever after...if Andie's willing to welcome the three kids, amicable divorce, and fifty-fifty custody split he brings with him. On one hand, there's Joe's kind, steady character, and his electrifying kisses. On the other, there's her terror of mothering anything more demanding than her beloved dogs. And just when Andie needs her friendships most, her best friend disappears as both her number one confidant and irreplaceable store manager...leaving Andie to wonder if she's capable of any long-term relationship. As Joe brings everyone together for soccer games, group outings, and family trips, Andie clings to the carefree life she once knew. She can't compromise on a "'til death do us part" decision, even for the sweetest man she's ever met...can she?
