Jana McPartland has screwed up plenty in her life, but getting pregnant takes the prize, especially when her boyfriend takes a hike. With nowhere to stay and no money to support herself or a baby, Jana turns to her closest friend, Sam Harrison, for help. He's always been her refuge from the storm, and this is one heck of a hurricane she's found herself in.

Sam, a former foster kid turned super-successful bestselling thriller novelist, offers Jana a roof over her head and a job. It's a great solution, if she can ignore her one-time schoolgirl crush on Sam that's turned into full-fledged love.

Sam struggles as well with not only his powerful attraction for Jana, but the sense of loss he feels knowing she plans to give up her baby. His "brilliant" idea to adopt the baby himself sends Jana into turmoil, then he makes matters worse when he proposes.

Jana agrees to marry Sam so she can keep her baby. But as the more-than-friendship feelings between them grow, she begins to wonder...can their new connection be enough to build a real family?
