I’m a full-time single dad to three daughters and CFO at Cloverleigh Farms。 I don’t have time to fall in love—I’m too busy trying to run a business, keep the red socks out of the white laundry, and get the damn pillowcases on without owing a dollar to the swear jar。
Sure, Frannie Sawyer is beautiful and sweet, but she’s twenty-seven, the boss’s daughter, and my new part-time nanny—which means she’s completely off-limits。 It’s bad enough I can’t stop fantasizing about her, what kind of jerk would I be if I acted on the impulse to kiss her?
(Exactly the kind of jerk you’re thinking。)
Actually, I’m worse than that—because I didn’t stop with a kiss, and now I can’t stay away。 She makes me feel like myself again。 She reminds me what it’s like to want something just for me。 She’s everything I ever needed, but nothing I ever imagined。
I’m a former Marine。 I should have had the strength to resist her from the start。
But I didn’t。 And now I have to choose between the life I want and the life she deserves。
Even if it means giving her up。
