After unexpectedly finding himself a single dad, Hayes must balance fatherhood and a custody battle with his demanding role as CIO at Cartwright & Sons, as he strives to win not just his daughter's custody but also his defense lawyer's heart.

Standalone in the Cartwright Brothers series

***

Hayes never envisioned himself as a father or a husband. Content with his bachelor lifestyle, he's blindsided when he suddenly becomes the sole caregiver for his unexpected infant daughter. Uncertain about his ability to parent and torn about whether to keep her, he struggles to balance fatherhood with his demanding role as CIO at Cartwright & Sons. Just when he thinks he's getting the hang of it, his world is upended once again when he's hit with a custody lawsuit.

Enter Deanna, an associate lawyer and former hookup of Hayes. She has crushed on him for years and despite knowing the risks of getting involved with a client, Deanna takes on his case due to their past history and her own experiences growing up in an abusive home. Initially skeptical about Hayes's parenting abilities, the more time they spend together the blurrier the lines get between what's ethical and what her heart desires.
