Yet when Laramie "Coop" Cooper strolls into her exhibit at an art gallery three years later, he's very much alive--and still making her pulse zing. The all-consuming chemistry between them is as undeniable now as it was then, but Bristol won't risk her heart--or their son's. Little does Bristol know he's determined to win over his unexpected family at any cost.
