Axel Rules lives by three rules: He never kisses a woman on the lips. He never sleeps over, and they're not allowed to sleep at his place. And the final rule, he never dates single mothers. Joey Sinclair is a single mother, and she owns the coffee shop in town. He knows she has a history. She stood up against her abusive ex-husband. The ex left town, and wanted nothing to do with his daughter. Axel doesn't want to get involved with Joey, but he can't get her out of his mind. When her parents take her daughter away for the weekend, they order her to have some fun. To relax. It had been so long since she enjoyed some time to herself. Going to the bar, all she intends to do was drink a beer, and dance. That first night, Axel breaks all of his rules. He couldn't resist kissing Joey. Her lips were too damn good to ignore. One kiss led to a sleep over, and when he woke up, Joey had snuck off. And now, he had broken his third and final rule, he was falling for a single mother. His father had taught him these rules, so he didn't get his heart broken. What he didn't truly realize, his father had loved before. Now, it was Axel's turn to fall in love. But will Joey fall in love with him? Will she give herself to him? He has a terrible reputation. But, Axel's ready to settle down. He wants to be a father to Joey's daughter, and he wants to have children of his own. But will she be willing to take the risk?
