What's a single father to do when his twelve-year-old daughter is caught shoplifting a box of expired condoms? Derrick Cavenaugh sure doesn't know, so the ex-all-American football star turns to Bailey Greenwood for help, but she's got troubles of her own….

Bailey is struggling to keep her grandmother's bed-and- breakfast, her home, from being swallowed up by taxes and the bank. She doesn't have time to help Derrick, but she can't refuse his daughter.

The more time Derrick spends with Bailey, the more he respects her, the more he wants her. He's failed so much already, but he's determined to win Bailey.
