"If the song "Miss Independent" was a book, it would be Girl In Trouble" 

Olivia doesn't believe in happy families. She can't trust men to be reliable, so she’d rather manage without one.

When Olivia discovers she's pregnant by her douchebag ex, Walter finally sees a way to be more than just a friend-with-benefits to her. It might also give him the second chance to be a good dad.

But how can he persuade the most independent woman he's ever met to accept his help, let alone his heart?
