With his youngest sister finally off to college, he's looking forward to living a kid-free life. Then Mia Tremaine arrives on his doorstep with a baby in tow. Mia's a stranger, but the baby's mama isn't...

Mia Tremaine knows all about Alec's gold-star reputation in raising his brothers and sister. It's all her own sister, Meggie, could talk about, even though she refused to inform Alec about her pregnancy. Now she's gone, and it's up to Mia to give Meggie's daughter the best life possible.

Wonderful characters came to life in this story. Alec thought he had his life planned but soon realised flexibility was the key and Mia was his future.

Major trust issues

A moving story of how the love for baby Willa changes the life of both Mia Flannery, Willa's Aunt and legal guardian and Alec Blackwell, Willa's father who had no knowledge of her existence. Alec has already looked after and raised his eight siblings after his parents died in an accident and was finally looking forward to taking a well earned holiday when Mia and Willa turned up on his doorstep. Mia, who has lost both her mother and sister Meggie recently, has major trust issues and sadly a lot of emotional baggage to contend with. The two need to work out how to come to terms with the situation so they can co parent and raise beautiful little Willa, preferably together

Great Read

Really enjoyed this book! Amazing plot. Very heartfelt storyline. Loved the fact that Alec raised his large family with the help of his Aunt Rose so that the could all stay together instead of being taken in by a system that would have separated them for sure. Can relate to Mia's trust issues for sure as it frequently happens when lonely women look for love in all the wrong places. Great book! Loved it!
