Working as the nanny for her best friend’s brother was supposed to be simple.

Until the single dad she can’t have starts looking at her like she’s everything he wants.

Nora Miller knows that her best friend’s brother is completely out of her league. He’s older, extremely successful, and still carrying the quiet heartbreak of losing his wife two years ago.

But when Theo’s nanny suddenly quits and he asks Nora to fill in, she can’t turn him down.

As long as no one discovers her hopeless crush on her new boss, everything should be fine.

Theo Archibald is doing his best to rebuild his life after loss, but no matter how many dates he goes on, nothing ever feels right—something, he tells himself, that has nothing to do with his daughter’s new nanny.

But with Nora filling his home with warmth and laughter, it’s getting harder to pretend he doesn’t notice her. And somewhere between the stolen glances and late-night talks, the lines begin to blur, and he realizes he’s thinking about her in ways he shouldn’t.

She’s younger.

His sister’s best friend.

His employee.

But when she’s in his arms and the ache in his chest finally quiets, it’s hard to care about the rules he swore he wouldn’t break.

And when the woman who’s become his daughter’s favorite person starts to feel like the home he never thought he’d find again, he has to decide if a second chance at love is worth the risk… or if some lines should never be crossed.
