Luke Walker is exhausted, broke, and afraid he'll have to give up the baby girl he only recently learned he had.  On a whim he stops at a church.  Baby Jessica seems feverish, and Luke is terrified.  Luckily, he meets a doctor in the parking lot who offers to help Jessica and let Luke pay him by doing work on his property.Despite his immediate attraction to Luke, Dr. Morgan Gallagher is determined to help the new dad.  To give Luke a chance to get back on his feet, Morgan offers Luke a place to stay and a job fixing up several things he's been putting off.  Luke accepts, but what will happen when he finds out Morgan is gay?Luke is a sweet story of two lonely men who find out life is better together.  I really liked both Luke and Morgan.  Luke's used to living however he wants and having fun, but when a former fling drops his daughter off with him, he gets serious about taking care of her.  I admired how dedicated he was to his child.  Morgan is much the same way about his job.  He cares about his patients and focuses on work to the exclusion of his own personal life.  A friends-with-benefits type situation with a local man isn't really fulfilling Morgan's needs, so I really rooted for him and Luke to get together.  Luke doesn't have a huge conflict, tons of angst, or any real surprises, but as a simple, enjoyable story, it's a very nice read.CassieReviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
