Loss brings them together. Will their pact to raise an orphaned newborn help them find love and happily-ever-after?

English professor Elijah M. Clayton, Jr., has promised his dying cousin he’ll raise her unborn daughter, but he knows he can’t do it on his own. His search for a wife fails miserably until he meets Beatrix-35 at a speed-dating event. Unfortunately, the ASD he does his best to conceal turns his best hope into another failure.

Plumber Beatrix Glouster is convinced she’s finally met a good guy in Elijah-34—until his probing questions about babies and breastfeeding lead her to suspect he’s more pervert than perfect. After a pregnancy loss and divorce six years ago, she isn’t willing to settle. Then an early morning plumbing emergency brings her face-to-cute-backside with last night’s disappointment.

Their lives are forever changed when a call summoning him to the hospital interrupts an unexpectedly hot kiss. Navigating the landmine of emotional risks from an impromptu marriage and raising their orphaned newborn charge will require a profound commitment to each other and determination to find their happily-ever-after.
