A small-town contemporary romance with a surprise baby doorstep twist, a ready-to-step-up hero, and a determined aunt. Once a DNA test confirms paternity, Alec Blackwell is all in—single dad stakes, big-family dynamics, grumpy and sunshine sparks, and a slow-burn, closed-door connection leading to a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for readers who love single parent romance, found family, and heartfelt, feel-good love stories.
Alec Blackwell, the eldest of nine siblings, has spent his life caring for his family since his parents' death. With his youngest sister off to college, he's looking forward to finally having a kid-free life. But his plans change when a woman shows up with a baby she claims is his by a mutual friend who has passed away. Though skeptical, Alec can't ignore the innocent eyes of the baby girl and takes on the responsibility while searching for the truth.
Mia Tremaine knows all about Alec's reputation as a kind, protective, and loving man. She leaves the baby with him, knowing she can trust him to take care of the child. Alec asks Mia to stay and help him adjust, and as they spend time together, they grow closer. But when Mia's past catches up to her, Alec must confront her and decide if he wants to fight for the family he never thought he wanted.
