Bridging Hope

They agreed to co-parent, not to fall in love.



Pierce Simms buried his sister and inherited a farmhouse full of memories he'd rather sell than face — plus two kids he has no idea how to raise. The one person who can help him is the last man he expected: Dalton, his sister's high-school almost-boyfriend, now legally bound to him as co-guardian of two toddlers neither man planned for.



Dalton didn't come back to Wilcox for romance. He came back to keep a promise to a dead woman and to stop failing the people he loves. Moving into Pierce's world was supposed to be temporary, practical, boring. It was supposed to have rules.



But rules don't survive 3 a.m. feedings, kale-chip arguments, or the particular ache of watching someone become a parent in real time. Somewhere between the nursery and the barn, protecting their hearts stops feeling like the safer bet — and staying starts to look like the only bet worth taking.



Bridging Hope delivers forced proximity, instant family, and a slow-burn M/M romance where two grieving guardians fall for each other while learning to co-parent. Perfect for readers who take their farm romance heartfelt and their found family hard-won.
