Author: Melanie Harlow
Veronica Sutton is in a pickle: she just found out, at the church, in her wedding dress, that her fiancé is a liar and a cheater. Through a text! That he sent minutes before the wedding to her instead of to his floozy by mistake! What’s a former Rockette to do but literally kick him out of her life and runaway from the church?
And that’s how she, after series of fortunate encounters, shows up at Austin Buckley’s door to apply for the nanny job. After all she’s now broke and homeless.
Austin is desperate to find a nanny for the twins for the summer but he’s not THAT desperate! Who in their right mind hires a seemingly nutty woman in her wedding dress, for crying out loud?
Well, apparently Austin! In a few days she’s wormed herself into the kids’ hearts and into his thoughts. And what dirty thoughts… You see, one of the reasons he didn’t want to hire her was…well, look at her, dammit!
This book is quintessential small town, meddling family, wonderful characters Melanie Harlow. You can’t not fall in love with the lovely Veronica and with the loyal-to-a-fault Austin.
There’s pining, there’s steam, there is swooniness! A wonderful start to a new series!
