I need a nanny. Not a distraction.
I certainly do not need a twentysomething man with a devastating smile, tattooed forearms, and an easy charm that could unravel a woman twice as composed as me.
But when my daughter gets kicked out of after-school care (again) and my flaky nanny ghosts us (again), Austin Calloway moves into the duplex next door—and right into our lives.
Now he’s helping with homework, cooking dinner shirtless, and showing up with coffee like he’s always belonged here.
He’s too young.
Too familiar.
Too good with my daughter.
Too close.
And the worst part? He sees through me—the cracks, the stress, the walls I’ve built to protect what’s mine.
The more I try to keep him out, the more I ache to let him in.
But letting someone in means risking everything.
He’s the wrong choice . . . unless we’re finally ready to see what happens when we fall.
AUTHOR’S NOTE
This book contains mentions of infidelity (of a parent, not any main character). There are references of a child feeling abandoned and unwanted. It also deals with self-concept after a divorce and the struggle to feel like yourself as a single parent.
There are several scenes containing yummy adult content between a single mother who’s lost her groove and a very eager, younger man who is more than willing to help her find it. Enjoy!
