A second chance to be a father 

And a second chance for love 

During twenty years of military service, Colt Armstrong learned to overcome every challenge…except one. He never built the relationship he wanted with his estranged daughter. But when a steamy one-night stand leads to a surprising result, he’s got a second chance at fatherhood. This time, he’s going to do it right. This time, he’ll be the dad he always wanted to be. But first, he needs to convince the mom-to-be to give him a chance. Andie Billings’s battered heart isn’t easily won, but if there’s one thing Colt knows how to do, it’s fight for home, family—and love.
