He takes care of other people's kids . . . but he craves a family of his own.

Enter a single mom waitress with a broken heart and a whole lot of trouble behind her.

Army vet Dan is still figuring out how to deal with being a three-legged bear, but it turns out kids don't care how many limbs he has as long as he's willing to be a climbing frame. He didn't come to Autumn Grove to be a babysitter, but before he knows it, he's got a job changing diapers and braiding hair.

Now if he could just catch the eye of the beautiful woman who makes his bear stand up and say "Mine."

But Paula has been burned one too many times. With two kids to worry about, Autumn Grove's only diner to run, and a deadbeat ex, she's not ready to open her heart again.

Even to an amazing guy who's great with kids, with shoulders to die for and amazing eyes and . . .

Okay. Maybe she's not holding back her feelings as well as she hoped.
