To give his widowed sister the will to live, firefighter Max Caldwell promised he'd protect her baby from her criminally-connected in-laws. Caring for his newborn nephew is a painful reminder of the children he and his ex-wife couldn't have, and when his rescue of the newborn goes awry, he finds himself sharing guard duty with a woman whose courage and compassion steal his heart. Max will do anything to protect his nephew, but can he hope fate will give him a second chance at love?

Laura Dalton knows what it means to grow up with no place to call home, moved from one foster home to the next. To protect her heart from further rejection and loss, she isolates herself and keeps relationships at arms' length. But the helpless newborn chips away at her defenses, and she willingly puts her life on hold to make sure Max's nephew doesn't suffer the same fate that she did growing up. When she finds herself falling in love with Max, what is she willing to risk to have a family of her own?
