...There's A Way.
Connor and Will are at vastly different points in their lives.
At 32, Connor Stark's life is pretty great. With a handsome boyfriend, a thriving business as an Events Coordinator, and a vibrant social life set against the stunning backdrop of Australia's Gold Coast, he has very few complaints. Hell, he even has eye candy in the form of his uniformed silver fox upstairs neighbour, not that he'd ever do anything more than perv on the guy.
Then one day tragedy strikes, and Connor is thrust into single parenthood as he is handed a newborn baby and what feels like zero lifelines.
Meanwhile, at 49, perpetually single firefighter Will Bradford's life is also pretty great. Though his hair might be more silver than brown these days, he has a rewarding job, amazing grown-up kids, and an adorable downstairs neighbour he
probably
shouldn't be checking out as often as he does. So sue him; he's only human.
When Connor's life is turned upside down overnight, Will finds himself helping the younger man navigate his new reality. He has no intention of falling butt over teakettle for Connor
or
his kid, but somehow it happens anyway.
With Connor a broken man, and Will concerned about restarting the whole parenting gig from scratch, how can they make a relationship work, especially when life seems intent on throwing even more hurdles their way?
