Preston Harding witnessed his best friend's death in the prime of his life. Alcohol has numbed the pain.
Until his son's mother drops the boy off on his doorstep and tells him she is dying. Suddenly he's responsible for a young life and is facing another death. Thankfully, hospice is taking care of everything except the child.
Athena Coleman loves her job as a hospice nurse. She also loves Preston, her big brother's best friend, and has all of her life. But he's too wrapped up in self-medicating with alcohol and hiding his pain from the world by doing crazy stunts that she wouldn't have him even if he finally did notice her.
Everything changes when she's assigned to the mother of his child and Preston sobers up to be a father to Liam.
Can they fall in love despite the death between them?
