More about the book

JP's childhood was marked by dysfunction, but as an adult, he enjoys a carefree life, working at his siblings’ businesses and avoiding relationships while planning to remain child-free. His laid-back existence is disrupted when he unexpectedly becomes responsible for a seven-month-old baby. Meanwhile, Hannah, who has always been obedient, finds herself traveling to Vermont to investigate her infant niece’s father after her sister's death. Under pressure from her struggling parents, she is tasked with helping them gain custody of the child, regardless of the means. Upon arriving, Hannah discovers that JP is not the neglectful father her family imagined. Instead, she finds a man whose life has been upended. As Hannah becomes entangled in a web of lies and develops feelings for JP, she realizes that he is not the person her family believes him to be. JP, with Hannah's support, begins to see responsibility in a new light, challenging his previous beliefs about relationships and commitment. As they navigate the complexities of single parenthood and their growing connection, both face numerous secrets and obstacles. With so much at stake, they must confront whether their bond can withstand the pressures surrounding them, or if it will ultimately lead to heartbreak.
