This might be his last chance at fatherhood...

Kendall Montgomery's six-year-old son has barely spoken in the past year, locked in his world of silent grief. Then one day, he spots his dead father across a crowded street.

Max Jordan moved to Chicago to be closer to his own son and prove he can be a better father than his deadbeat dad. His striking resemblance to Kendall's husband and his track record with fatherhood make her determined to keep her distance...until Max helps her little boy come out of his shell.

But can she trust him with their future? How can she be sure he won't take off just when they need him most?
