Love has no expiration.The morning Beth packed her bags and walked out of Cole's life was the day he swore the only girl for him would be the six year old who called him daddy. He didn't have time for love, not between raising his baby girl and trying to figure out what the hell he was going to do with his life. But fate has a funny way of coming around and kicking you when you least expect it. Cole's new life was no exception.As a product of a severely broken home, Beth Doan knew better than to ever get married. She'd seen what that commitment did to people and she loved Cole McClain too much to let marriage destroy them. But the minute she boards that bus she knew she was making the biggest mistake of her life. Only maybe she wasn't, not when she goes running back home to the only man she ever loved and finds him in the arms of another woman.When an unexpected accident throws them together four years later, the last thing either anticipated was to become responsible for a little person who needs them a whole lot more than they need their bitterness and hurt feelings. Can Cole and Beth forgive and forget long enough to save the life of a child neither one of them predicted falling in love with?Or are some wounds just too deep to heal?
