In Hollywood, timing is everything.
Natalie Cruz’s career is finally taking off. Her first TV show is sold, her future is mapped out, and nothing is going to derail it—especially not the man she promised herself would only be one night.
Jake Reyes isn’t interested in temporary anymore.
After rebuilding his life post-divorce, the last thing he expects is to collide with the woman he hasn’t stopped thinking about… in his conference room. As his newest client. And his boss’s daughter.
Then comes the surprise neither of them planned for. A baby. Natalie has spent her life standing on her own. She doesn’t need saving, fixing, or convincing.
And a steady, optimistic man who insists on showing up—no matter what—was never part of her plan.
But Jake isn’t going anywhere.
As their lives become increasingly intertwined, the lines between obligation and desire start to blur, and Natalie is forced to confront the one thing she’s avoided her entire life: hope.
