Ryan Jefferies was a man with a life plan. Make the prestigious law firm he’d been entrusted by his father a continuing success; get married after he turned forty; become a father, in that specific order. He’d been deceived once and swore he’d never again become a victim of an unplanned pregnancy.  He’d celebrated his fortieth birthday nine months ago and purchased a house. This New Year’s Eve, he planned to ask the woman of his dreams to marry him and become the mother of his children. The only problem he was having with his life plan was she’d stopped communicating with him shortly before his birthday and he couldn’t understand why.

As a fourth-grade teacher, she’s loved by her students and the children she tutors, pro bono. The one thing she’s always dreamed of having was a child of her own. At thirty-nine, she’s waited for the man of her dreams. Ryan Jefferies is everything she’s always wanted in a husband. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always follow a happy path. When she accidentally gets pregnant and miscarries, her dream of becoming a mother is shattered. How do you tell the man you love with all your heart that you can’t give him the family that he wants? Heartbroken at the loss of their child and those that she can never have, she decides to break things off so he can find a woman who can fulfill his dream. When tragedy strikes a family with two of the children Meredith tutors, she has no other choice but to turn to Ryan for help.

He’ll need a little extra help so he turns to his best buddy, Father Time.
