Cade is in need of a nanny for the summer, and the lack of control he has over the process has left him frustrated. He grew up faster than he should’ve, married a woman he didn’t love because she was pregnant, settled into a career he didn’t choose because it was needed, and is raising his little boy alone without complaint.

That paired perfectly with the sweet and swoony family moments, as the heroine bonded with the hero’s son. A slow burn to SIZZLE for sure, with the kind of heat that makes an impact. The forced proximity/nanny situation ratcheted up the tension, and it ended up being a scorching hot read. She is the change he needed in his life, and it was so fulfilling to watch this sexy single dad find his happy again.
