Ava Wellington is a busy, prestigious Seattle lawyer with her sights firmly set on her goals. She's precise and calculated to a fault and doesn't have time in her career for relationships, especially with a man like Jax. Neither he nor what comes with him were ever part of her plan. Jaxon Landry is ex-military, turned chef of his own thriving restaurant and the best single dad he knows how to be. He lives and breathes for the happiness of his two little girls. For the past two years he's lived in a dreary world of regret, loss, and disappointment. That is until he meets Ava. He never thought he'd see color again in his dreams, much less in a woman. Can Jax show Ava that she is more than checklists and goals? Can Ava keep her promise even when she's handed the golden opportunity to her ultimate goal. Will she risk love over her career? Family is a feeling, not a definition. There are no words for it. It's a feeling in your gut, in your heart, and in your soul. There's nothing you can do to stop true love, it's unavoidable.
