From Maybe to Baby

I’m Alexa, a globe-trotting travel writer with a strict no-kids policy, who’s mastered the art of avoiding family-friendly activities.
Yet, thanks to a work assignment, I find myself trapped in a sea of sticky fingers and bedtime stories as I write the ultimate guide to kid-friendly travel. In this world, nightcap means juice boxes, followed by lullabies and a kiss goodnight on the forehead.
Enter Jonas, a six-foot-five single dad and hockey heartthrob who’s vacationing with his little ones—turning my drab assignment into a page from any girl’s wildest fantasies. With a smile that melts ice (and panties), and two little humans who redefine chaos, this man tackles parenting like an extreme sport, scorching through my no-strings-attached itinerary with his dad-bod sculpted from dreams.
I’ve always treated love like a travel layover—temporary, unsatisfying, and best avoided. But Jonas’s playful banter and effortless charm are tempting me to reconsider my ticket-to-nowhere approach. Swapping my globetrotter gear for domestic bliss? Not freaking likely. Until I catch him looking at me like I’m the vacation of his dreams.
Suddenly, I’m contemplating being more than just a stopover on his itinerary as I find myself wondering if I’m ready to book a one-way ticket to a new life. Perhaps the hottest destination isn’t marked on any map—it’s wherever this unexpected family vacation leads, right here in Jonas’s world.
