   Summary

   A routine domestic call changes everything when Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford find a three-year-old girl alone in the middle of chaos. While they wait for CPS to respond, Lucy volunteers to care for her temporarily. But “temporary” has a way of turning into something more, and Lucy quickly realizes she’s in over her head—with parenting, with balancing the job, and with the man who’s always at her side.
