What happens when the anxious hockey star falls for the hyper-independent woman who doesn't need any man, let alone him?

Crosby Loughty is hockey royalty but the pressure to maintain his father's standards makes life feel like a prison. For years he refused to let anything unpredictable into his life. That all changed when he adopted a golden retriever pup and named her Stella.

Now he doesn't have to simply manage his own life, he has to manage hers. And make sure she has everything she needs and is cared for when she's on the road.

Laila Torres is good. Night shifts as a labor and delivery nurse and her supplemental shifts as a night nanny are fulfilling and challenging jobs. Her apartment is arranged exactly to her tastes and

Her job as a labor and delivery nurse is fulfilling and challenging, her apartment is arranged exactly to her tastes, her bag always has her "just in case kit" and she loves being the girl people call in to help.

So when her client's friend needs a dog sitter for one night she agrees.

But one night turns into so much more when the breathtakingly attractive Dog Dad invites her to a charity gala a few days later. And that night ends with the two of them in bed together.

Both agree to let the night go, to appreciate it for what it was. Until two pink lines change everything.

Now, with a baby on the way, two people who have managed well enough on their own, have to build a life together.
