It started with a kiss...

Ian North is the one person Darcy Maguire can always count on. So when her daughter's biological father shows up unannounced, she knows Ian will do whatever it takes to help. A kiss, however, is the last thing she expects.

Suddenly their little white lie is out of control. They're spending Father's Day with his family and lying about being a couple. Only pretending isn't enough for Darcy anymore. Ian is the best father her daughter could have and she's ready to make it official. But how can she know for certain where the lie ends and reality begins?

Brynn Catalano is in Comeback Cove to help her cousin with a relationship crisis and plan a major anniversary celebration for the local dairy. Sure, her new landlord, Hank North, is worth a second look…or three! But she's here only for a short time, and definitely not for romance, especially with a single dad.

Still, she can't resist Hank's daughter, Millie. The girl is almost as charming as her gorgeous daddy and Brynn is surprised at how easily their twosome accommodates her…and how much she likes that. Yet, when the job and the crisis are over there's nothing to keep Brynn here. Or is there?

The perfect reason to stay?

Kate Hebert's fling with Jackson Boone wasn't supposed to be anything more than good fun. When she got pregnant, they married to please her dying grandmother, and Boone headed home to Peru. Now he's in Comeback Cove to arrange their divorce and meet his baby son. But when Kate injures her ankle, Boone is forced to stick around – and step up his dad game.

A little hands–on healing makes Kate realise how great a real marriage with Boone could be. But family had never been Boone's priority, and as far as he's concerned, Kate deserves the life she's always dreamed of. Seems they've done everything backward, and now Boone faces the toughest choice he's ever made…

They weren't expecting this…

Heather Jacobs has a lot in common with Xander Sorenson: they've each got a great kid they adore, and neither of their paths to parenthood started out easy. So he's the perfect guy to help her with her plan to seek joint custody of her daughter.

But the perfect guy for her? Not so much, especially when she's not convinced his reckless ways are behind him. Plus, he brings out a side of her that she'd rather keep in check. And then the impossible happens…
