PROLOGUE
DEVIN MONROE’S SUMMER was ruined.
All his friends from high school were heading off to college for the summer session that started in a week to get a jump on their class ranking. And what was Devin doing? A ten-day, guys-only RV trip with his dad.
Worst. Summer. Ever.
And Dad...
Geez, two years from turning forty and the man’s life was falling apart. Not that all of it was Dad’s fault.
In January, Great-grandpa Harlan had disinherited Dad on the same day that Grandpa Darrell had fired him. Was it any wonder Dad was going gray? And then two days ago in front of half the Monroe family, some doctor had walked up to Dad and announced she was having his baby!
Devin cringed remembering the spectacle.
Was it any wonder his dad had gone to the hospital the next day with all the symptoms of a heart attack?
Turns out it was only stress and dehydration. Still...this just wasn’t Dad’s year.
But Devin still wanted it to be his year. And getting a jump on his college ranking by attending the second summer session was the way to do it.
If Devin could get Dad to cancel the RV trip and spend some time with Dr. Baby Mama...
Devin stomped into their hotel room in Second Chance, Idaho.
Dad’s phone sat on the nightstand in the Lodgepole Inn. Dad was nowhere in sight.
It would be wrong to search his contacts for Dr. Bernadette Carlisle.
It would be wrong to send her a text message using his dad’s phone and to apologize for the unhelpful way Dad had reacted to the baby news, as if Devin was Dad.
And it would really be wrong to invite Dr. Carlisle along on the RV trip to Yellowstone.
Devin did it anyway.
