Being a single mom means y/n has learned not to expect life to make things easy. So when her seven-year-old daughter Wren’s childcare suddenly falls through, she reluctantly accepts her Uncle Bobby’s offer to bring Wren to the 118 for the day. It’s supposed to be simple. Drop Wren off. Go to work. Pick her up later. What Jalyssa doesn’t expect is for her daughter to make a new best friend while she’s gone. Evan “Buck” Buckley has no idea who the little girl sitting in the firehouse kitchen belongs to. He just knows she’s curious, hilarious, and has approximately a thousand questions for him. Then y/n walks through the station. Buck’s entire world stops for a second when Bobby casually introduces her as his niece. Suddenly, the little girl he’s been spending the afternoon with is the daughter of the woman standing in front of him. And Wren has already decided Buck is her friend. What starts as an unexpected friendship slowly becomes something more. Buck finds himself falling for y/n, but he knows dating a single mother means more than simply winning her heart. Wren is part of the equation too—and Buck isn’t interested in rushing into a role that isn’t his. Meanwhile, Wren seems to have no such hesitation. She likes Buck. She likes her mom. And, as far as she’s concerned, the solution is obvious. Sometimes family isn’t something you plan. Sometimes it finds you when you’re busy trying to keep everything else together.
