Together with his adorable daughter, they slowly break through Natasha’s defenses. As Spencer teaches her to trust and embrace affection, she confronts deep-seated fears that threaten to derail a blossoming love. Will the path to a shared future—and the possibility of marriage and motherhood—be worth the risk?
