Nathan Devereaux's parenting days are over. He raised his siblings, and how he's ready to start living a life free of responsibility. After the year he's had, he deserves it.

Yet having a relationship with them means giving up what he's worked for. Worse, his past is sneaking up behind him and could threaten them all. He faces a choice he's not sure he can make - or even wants to. Turn his back on Emma and his daughter? Or bend the rules to protect them? Either way, their future is at stake.
