Cy Hathaway is going home to win custody of his son, Jonty, but he knows his chances will be better if he has a wife. When he finds out his childhood sweetheart he left behind is available and can fit in with his plans he decides to take a chance to apologize for the past and to help stabilize his future. Ellie is unsure at first but once she meets Cy's son she can't say no and along the way she realizes she has feelings for both son and dad. But a temporary arrangement is all Cy is offering.The angst of this novel was so sweet as it included a sad lonely little boy who reached out to adults to convey his hurt and need for stability while the male and female leads were trying to focus on him and not fall in love along the way. It was touching and sweet and deftly done without being over sappy as a delicate balance was performed by the author and I will definitely read more of her work.I received an advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review.
