Jaime Thomas: My life is turned upside down when I'm suddenly given custody of my sister's infant daughter. My dad used to call me the troubled child. As a high school dropout and former party animal, I admit, he was right. But I'd been trying to figure things out. The problem is that I'm barely able to stand on my own feet, and the sudden pressure of caring for a newborn is too much. I guess that’s why I formed a fascination with a local children’s show host and author.

Mr. Macintosh knows kids. He’s calm, stable, and dependable. He’s everything I wish I was. His show is the only thing in this world to offer me any comfort. I've never wanted a man before, but I crave him—his stability, soothing voice, advice. I'll take whatever I can get.

Ethan Mack: As a local children's entertainer, I'm used to parent fans, but Jaime is different. In my life, I've only known one other person who was so obviously overwhelmed, and it didn’t end well. The trauma has pushed me forward all these years, but now I feel like I have a second chance to right things. Helping Jaime and his daughter won’t fix the tragedies in my past, but I can’t stop myself from trying. If anyone can make this right, it’s me. I'll do whatever it takes to make Jaime happy.

Jaime is a single-dad romance set in the shared world of Gaynor Beach. It features some dark themes, but is primarily about finding support, a family, and love when you least expect it.
