Cam Montgomery has no time for romance between his ex-wife's chaos, his meddling mother, and a roster of delinquent football players to wrangle — until a spilled Dr. Pepper introduces him to Paige Carpino. When Paige ends up watching Cam's kids after day camp for a week, their antagonistic banter shifts into something neither expected, complicated by a stalker that pulls the whole Carpino family into protection mode.

Brynne Asher continues the Carpino series with a small-town, single-dad romance balancing humor, family chaos, and a genuine suspense thread.
