Her dream man will have a clean-shaven jaw, creases in his pants and hopefully an advanced degree. What she gets is rugged Luke Riordan.

But sometimes what you want and what you need are two different things…two very good things.

So when his young son, Tyler, attached himself to Kate and made not-so-subtle hints about wanting her as his mom, the single dad wondered what he'd opened himself up to...especially when he realized that he'd do anything to have the runaway bride by his side for keeps!
