America’s favorite doctor wants Viv to be his nanny-baby-mama. I can’t believe I’m even considering the offer. Why would I enter into a contract with Sam Hatfield, the most popular doctor in the country, to have his children and play house? Because I want children of my own. I’ve devoted my life to children. That’s why I became a pediatric nurse, then a nanny after leaving my doctor-fiancé. I’ve always admired Dr. Hatfield for his brilliant advice and caring manner. Since I started working for friends of his, I’m even more in awe. Why not give the arrangement a shot? It’ll be pretty unconventional. That I can handle. And it must be kept top-secret to protect Sam’s reputation. I’ve got no problem with that. But there’s the matter of procreation. Sam wants us to do things… well… the old-fashioned way. Am I up for it? If you like a short, steamy read about an elite nanny and the doctor who wants to give her everything, then you’ll love the Sparrow’s Nannies series.

Heather Hallman writes witty, sensual, contest-winning romances set in Meiji-era Japan (1868-1912). She is the author of the Tokyo Whispers series that includes Scandals of Tokyo, Talk of Tokyo, and Toast of Tokyo. Fluent in Japanese language, history, and culture, Heather earned a doctoral degree in cultural anthropology based on fieldwork research in Japan. She lives in Tokyo with her professor husband and two young daughters. In her free time, she can be found translating ancient Japanese poetry and observing the passing of seasons while sipping green tea. Just kidding, she has no free time. But she does watch something that makes her laugh while she does the dishes. Perennial obsessions include the weather forecast (she checks three different apps at least three times a day), Baltimore Ravens football (hometown obsession), and making smoothies that taste like candy bars. Feel free to chat her up about any of her obsessions, or, even better, about historical Japan—any era is fine, she loves them all. She also enjoys exchanging book recommendations, discussions about the craft of romance writing, and stories about life in present-day Tokyo.
