TJ Bennett knows one thing for certain-being in love isn’t for him. Been there, done that, has the scars to prove it.But that’s before the colorful and sweet, free-spirited Hope Daniels lands on his doorstep looking for another man.Hope is only in town for one reason-to find the man who stole her mother’s heart twenty six summers ago. She isn’t looking to make up for lost time or a date to a Father-Daughter dance, she simply wants to have a cup of coffee with the father she’s never known.But when her directions lead her to TJ’s house instead, everything becomes a lot more complicated… and a lot more interesting. Because there’s nothing like a big gruff introvert to push this extrovert’s let-me-make-it-all-better buttons. All of TJ’s plans to stay uninvolved and out of her way evaporate quickly and before he knows it, Hope’s got him thinking differently about everything-family, home, heartbreak and maybe even the fact that he’s never actually been in love…before now.
