Their one night of escape and desire comes with a string tightly attached as Bee discovers she's pregnant from their rendezvous. The couple agrees to share a life, moving in together and attempting to create a semblance of a family. However, Bee and Hunter quickly learn that their compatibility doesn't go beyond the bedroom.

But that decision might not be his to make. Bee has finally accepted that a man cannot and will not control her happiness. Now, it's up to Hunter to prove what he finally understands—their love story, their family, began the night they met and is far from over.
