Three Men and a Baby meets Backdraft with explosive chemistry and heartfelt feels. Freewheeling smoke jumper Brandt Wilder thrives on adrenaline. He's never met a parachute he can't repair or a dangerous situation he couldn't wrangle his way out of. He's popular and fun-loving and not at all looking to settle down or form lasting relationships. It's a lifestyle that's served him well...right up until the day he finds a baby on his doorstep. Shane Travis is used to putting his country music career-and his own happiness-on hold after his sister rolls through his life. Like last spring when she convinced him to try skydiving for his birthday-and she walked away with the hot parachute instructor. Now he gets to deliver the piece of news that will upend Brandt's carefree life: he very well might be a dad. Shane's niece is safe in Brandt's strong, capable hands, but too many questions remain unanswered. Co-parenting while they sort it out leads to late-night talks, and soul-bearing confessions lead to a most inconvenient attraction. Still, Shane can't leave this makeshift family behind-even if it means playing house with the one man he can't resist.
