About the Book
"When disaster strikes and chef Bryce Weatherford is given guardianship of her three young nieces, her life goes from cooking with fire...to controlling a dumpster fire. Five year old Addison refuses to remove her fairy wings, eight year old Cecily won't bathe, and tween June is majoring in belligerence. With all this chaos, Bryce jettisons hope for a life outside of managing her family and her new job. It's been years since Ryker Matthews had his below the knee amputation, yet the phantom pain for his lost limb and Marine career haunts him. To cope, he focuses on his vehicle restoration business. He knows he's lucky to be alive. Yet, "lucky" feels more like "cursed" to his lonely heart. When Ryker literally sweeps Bryce off her feet in the grocery store's baby aisle, they both feel sparks. But falling in love would be one more curveball neither is ready to deal with... or is it exactly the change of plans they need?"--Book Synopsis

Life can change in the blink of an eye and tragedy can strike at any moment. Bryce Weatherford, a Florida-based chef, is whisked away from her beloved life when she suddenly becomes the guardian of her three young nieces. The Weatherford girls have to navigate the stages of grief, a new way of life, and the chaos that can come with parenthood. Ryker Matthews is a veteran that was honorably discharged from the Marines after an in-battle injury ended his career. Years after his below-the-knee amputation, Ryker is haunted when phantom pains, PTSD, and the painful realization that he can no longer follow in his father's footsteps.

Watching Bryce grow into her “mom-like-creature” role came with so many laughs, a few frustrations, and a lot of heartfelt moments. Readers got to read about how the Weatherfords got through each and every growing pain; each niece had their own hiccups the family had to navigate and the chaos and growth were illustrated perfectly.
