Hunter Dannings was a young CEO who had given up on love. But when he met River Conyers, a single dad and bar owner, his life began to change. Being around River gave him hope, and being around his daughter, Melodie, let Hunter imagine creating the family he's always wanted.
But River doesn't let people in easily.
And falling for him puts Hunter at risk for more heartbreak than he's ever known.

"Thanks for bringing me home."
"It's no problem," Hunter shrugged, crossing his arms against the bitter Toronto cold. "You did the same for me."
"Yeah," River started in, but paused, fingers tightening around the doorknob. "Maybe I should return the favor."
In two large steps, River stepped in front of Hunter. His breath left his lips in small clouds as he stared determinedly at Hunter's mouth. Hunter's body was confused. After battling the oncoming winter chill for so long, it was strange to suddenly have River in front of him, warming his skin from proximity alone. Fingertips tinged pink by the cold reached up, grabbing Hunter's jacket and using the fabric to pull the taller man down.
"You were gone for so long and never reached out," River croaked, fists tightening around the fabric of Hunter's coat. "Never sent me a text or gave me a call."
"I'm sorry."
"Are you?" River's whispered words warmed Hunter's lips, teasing him with the promise of more.
"Then prove it."
