Four miracles and a bachelor add up to...one family. J.D. Grayson agrees that the Brown kids, abandoned by their parents, deserve a loving home. Hes just not sure that one man is parent enough for four young children--not if he is that one man. But a persuasive--and mysterious--young woman insists hes exactly what the children need. Now he has to convince twelve-year-old Caleb, fierce guardian of his younger brothers and sister--and then pass muster with Kelsey Malone, Bethlehems newly arrived social worker. With one good deed, J.D. finds his life turned upside down. The kids barely talk to him and they wont eat his home-cooked meals. Then he finds himself looking forward to Kelseys home visits too much. Her buttoned-down suit and tough-as-nails professionalism cant hide the vulnerable woman inside. But haunted by the shattered life he left behind, J.D. doesnt want to risk loving again. Itll take a miracle to make a family of them all...but as one enigmatic young woman knows, Bethlehem has no small supply of miracles.
