When Elliot becomes the guardian to his adorable niece and nephew, he tries his best to handle it on his own. When his late sister-in-law’s crazy sister tries to claim she would be the better guardian because she’s married, Elliot knows he could never let the kids go to her. Getting married would solve his problems, only he’s been too busy starting his own business and working shifts as a firefighter to pursue a relationship. Until he remembers Maggie.
Maggie can’t believe the brother-in-law to her best friend would actually propose. She knows it’s all for the kids, but deep in her heart, she wishes it could mean something more. She’d crushed on him from afar but never dared do anything about it, especially since he was her best friend’s almost brother. Since Maggie already loves the children almost as if they were hers, she agrees without hesitation. As they start their life together, can she stay committed to just being a mother figure to the children, or will she lose her heart to this man she can never have?
