When a deadly crash on an icy mountain road claims the lives of Giselle and Sai Whiteford, their world stops overnight. Solani Kross-a compassionate social worker who grew up in foster care-and Saint "Spider" Whiteford-a feared kingpin who built an empire from the shadows-are left with the same unimaginable loss. Then the lawyer reveals Sai and Giselle's final wish. They've both been named legal guardians of two-year-old Isabella "Issy" Whiteford. To keep Issy out of foster care, they must sign immediately. To honor her parents' wishes, they must raise her together... in the home Sai bought for his family. Neither of them understands why Sai chose Spider-a man whose name carries fear throughout Pleasant Mount-to raise his daughter. Not even Spider understands it. His brother spent his entire life avoiding the streets, yet somehow believed the man everyone else judged was the one who would protect Issy with everything he had. Grief leaves no room for pride. Now two near-strangers must become roommates, co-parents, and the only constants in a little girl's life as she asks the same heartbreaking question every night: "When are Mommy and Daddy coming home?" As seasons change, bedtime stories replace silence, shared dinners become routine, and a house built for one family slowly becomes home to another. Somewhere between sleepless nights, preschool mornings, therapy appointments, and healing hearts, Solani begins to see the man behind the nickname... and Spider realizes the sunshine he never thought he deserved has been living under the same roof all along. But loving each other is the easy part. Learning to build a family from unimaginable loss-and protecting it from the life Spider thought he'd never escape-may be the hardest thing either of them has ever done.

Aujani Mitchell has never believed motherhood should depend on whether a man chooses to marry her. At twenty-seven, she has built a life she is proud of-a successful career as a pediatric nurse, financial stability, a close family, and enough love to give the child she has always wanted. After months of researching sperm banks and anonymous donors, Aujani realizes she cannot bring herself to choose a stranger. She wants to know her child's medical history, their family, and the kind of man responsible for half of who they will become. There is only one person she trusts that deeply. Her best friend, Cartier Moore. Cartier has been beside Aujani since fifth grade. They have grown up together, shared clothes, secrets, arguments, firsts, heartbreaks, and every version of themselves in between. He is also a devoted father, a successful businessman, and the one man Aujani knows would never abandon his child. But when she asks Cartier to help her have a baby, he makes one thing clear-he is not interested in being a donor. If they create a child together, he will be the daddy. Five months later, an appointment is booked, their plan is in motion, and the friendship that has survived almost everything begins changing in ways neither of them expected. Morning sickness brings Cartier closer. Late-night cravings become routine. Baby names, tiny clothes, doctor appointments, and quiet moments start feeling far more intimate than friendship should. Cartier falls first. Aujani does not realize she is falling until the man she has known nearly her entire life starts looking at her differently-and she begins looking back.
