Allen Wright fights for custody of his sister’s orphaned 5-year-old twins against Devin Smith, a mysterious (and inconveniently attractive) man from the other side of the family.

The judge called on the man who sat opposite Allen. He stood, looking both uncertain and brave. “My name is Devin Smith,” he said. “I’m Riley’s Smith’s brother. I also work from home, and I’m quite flexible in my living arrangements. I’ve contacted a realtor here, in Pleasant Grove, and there are a couple of houses for sale near the elementary school that Clara and Ophelia attend. If the girls were placed with me, they would have very little additional disruption to their lives.”

Allen’s stomach lurched as he listened. A month ago he’d never even dreamed of becoming a parent, and now seeing that chance possibly being taken away filled him with anger. “You disowned your brother!” he exclaimed. “And now you think you can come in here—”

The judge called for quiet, but Devin paid it no attention, turning sharply on Allen. “And where have you been for the past five years?” he snapped. “You live an hour away and you know nothing about them—”
