Royal Marine Drew Scott is convinced that he can handle anything until the death of his brother and sister-in-law in a car crash leaves him responsible for his three year old niece Chloe.
Divorced childminder and mother of two Lisa Jones has known and loved the little girl since she was born because she lived next door to her and looked after her when her mum went back to work. She looked after Chloe till Drew could get back and is the ideal person to give him a crash course in parenting, just as he’s the ideal person to help when her younger son seems to be going off the rails.
Both of them are determined not to get involved, but that doesn’t stop their relationship from growing. Drew’s ex-girlfriend turning up and staking her claim threatens to spoil Lisa’s dreams, until a near tragedy brings them all to their senses. But is it too late for a second chance? Can the tough guy handle the toddler and family life, or is that one challenge too many for him? Can Lisa learn to trust as well as love? Can two people who’ve been hurt by life find happy endings and create a new family?
