Paramedic Joe Barrington has done his best to ignore the attraction pulling him towards nurse Jessica McPhail. She's got a young child and that puts her in a no-go zone as far as he's concerned. He doesn't do kids! He didn't intend to risk his life to try and save Jess's son but it just happened. So did the bond that developed between him and the boy as they were trapped together waiting for the USAR team to rescue them.

Joe didn't intend to find himself living with both Jess and Ricky, either, but it's starting to feel like he can't imagine living without them. Is it possible that they can both overcome ghosts from the past and become a real family?
