Former pre-school teacher Ava Lewis arrives in New York City determined to accomplish two things: (1) become an attorney child advocate and (2) prove to her family that while she might be the youngest child by far, she’s not a child who always needs a helping hand. She’s on her way with provisional acceptance to NYU’s law school. All she needs to do is complete a summer program for students who have a non-law bachelor degree.
After his broken engagement, Nick Jansen accepted his mother’s contention that he’s like her—not cut out for any serious relationship. To start over, Nick leaves his position in mergers and acquisitions at a large communications corporation to open his own business consulting firm. One of his first jobs—structuring a sale of his uncle’s athletic clubs and a nonprofit for city teens—brings Nick to New York City. Thanks to his mother’s obstruction, this is Nick’s first personal contact with his deceased father’s family in years.
Enter five-year-old twins who are unexpectedly left with Nick while their guardian is on a month-long honeymoon. The twins quickly worm their way into Ava’s heart, and she reluctantly agrees to help Nick by caring for them afternoons after her law class. Fire simmers under the surface of Nick and Ava’s friendship until neither can resist the pull to become a couple, a foursome with the twins.
That is, until responding to an accident involving one of the twins forces Ava to jeopardize her law school admission. Nick makes it worse by using his uncle’s connections to “rescue” her. Ava thought Nick was different, that he understood her need to solve her own problems. He believes he was doing what family is supposed to do.
Have they hit an impassible detour? Or is Ava and Nick’s budding love strong enough to repair their road to happiness?
