But it's too late. Mia is already pregnant and her dream of "happily ever after" is sharply put to an end when she decides to keep her pregnancy a secret, refusing to force him into a life he doesn't want. The compromise that made them a family... Five years later, Mia must reach out to Nate for help or risk losing her home and shelter for their son. Stunned and outraged by the sudden news of his child, Nate proposes a compromise: give him the summer to get to know his son and he'll save her home. Yet with Mia back in his life, Nate isn't willing to lose her--or their son--again. What starts off as a temporary arrangement soon becomes a chance at rediscovery and becoming a family. Only Nate must convince his jaded dreamer that his love for her is true...and will last now and forever.
