Being a parent was never in the plans for Allie Tatum. She's always been the fun aunt to her two nieces, not the strict parent. But after a tragic accident, Allie is thrust into parenthood with full custody of grieving Maisie and teenage Kara. While dealing with her own grief, Allie struggles to hold their fractured family together.

Sam Carter, the mother of Kara's best friend, becomes a steady presence in the chaos. Her friendship offers Allie comfort, support, and an attraction that neither woman expected to find.

Allie never planned to become a parent. She certainly never planned to fall in love. So how can she possibly expect to make all the pieces of this new puzzle fit?
