When little Tommy Phillips walks into the Forest Glen sheriff's office and asks Chance Drayton to find his dad, the lawman's heart goes out to him. As a single father, he knows what it's like to be far away from your family.

Then he meets Tommy's attractive mother…and knows he's really in trouble!

Jessie knows how badly Tommy wants a father. And he thinks he's found one in the sheriff. Jessie has to admit, the sexy, six–two ex–Marine is irresistible. He's also involved in a custody battle that could see him moving to Chicago to be closer to his son.

Now, with the whole town playing matchmaker, Jessie and Chance know they have to do what's best for their boys. Which could end up surprising them all!
