Sometimes life tests a man...

Widower Sloan Thompson just wants to do the right thing. He's moved his daughters from Texas to Erie, PA for the support of extended family and to give his rebellious fifteen-year-old a fresh start.

Free-spirited Jenna Quinn, Sloan's new neighbor, believes life's short, so eat dessert first. However, the tall, handsome Texan is off the menu—forbidden fruit. Kids are not in her plans.

But chemistry happens. And life has a warped sense of humor.

Sloan discovers his teenager is pregnant by a boy who's refusing to man-up to his actions.

And surprise! Jenna's pregnant, too, with Sloan's baby. While he's proposed, Jenna doesn't want an "obligation" marriage. She wants more.

Now Sloan's dealing with two pregnant, hormonal women. And he has no idea what the right thing even is, for any of them.
