I can’t seem to keep my mind or my hands off my nanny.

I thought things would stay professional, but the way Sophie Winters looks at me has me coming undone.

After my sister’s death, raising my niece Lizzy has been chaos. All I want is a capable nanny who stays out of my way.

But Sophie is everywhere I turn. Her laugh, her curves, the way she makes this house feel like home—living under the same roof makes it impossible to keep my distance.

Between our late-night talks, stolen glances, and secret “meetings” at the stables, she’s become more than just the nanny.

I’ve fallen all the way. Now she’s someone I can’t live without.

But her father is relentless. He wants her back in Manhattan to clean up her messy reputation even though she is not looking back. To him, a simple life here on the ranch with us - with me, is a waste.

If she leaves, I’ll lose more than my heart.

I’ll lose the one woman who’s made me feel alive again.
