Fall in love with the Wards ...

From troubled teen to successful general contractor, Jake Nichols turned his life around from his time in foster care. Divorced and single, he juggles his time between his daughter and his work. Next on his agenda, a new project that is his chance to prove his worth at the job he loves. Except he never anticipates that the only girl he's ever loved and lost as a teen is now a grown and beautiful woman in charge of the project.

Phoebe Ward has survived and conquered a painful past that includes foster care and becoming a teenaged mom. She wants nothing more than to focus on the present but it's hard when she looks into the eyes of her son, knowing she's tried and failed to find his father. She's resigned herself to raising him alone with the help of her family ... until a client meeting brings her face-to-face with her first love. A boy ... now a sexy man she thought she'd never see again ... and the father of her child.

So many years have gone by and both of their lives have changed drastically. Will they be able to put the past behind them and find the second chance they both deserve?
