Every woman in my life has let me down, hurt me, or abandoned me. Which is why the only female I hold close to my heart is Hallie—my daughter. But being a single father comes with certain challenges, so I hire a nanny. Someone who can do her hair, tell her stories, and be the motherly figure she doesn’t have. When Mia starts, I know she’ll be perfect, but I have to keep her at arm's length. I tell myself it’s because I don’t know how to fix her broken soul from the past she’s so desperate to hide, but in reality, it’s more. The way I feel about her scares me. She’s beautiful, feisty, and so incredibly kind. Although I try to deny it, I can feel myself falling for her. And when our pasts collide with the present, we have no choice but to face our demons together and fight. Will I be able to finally put my fears aside and find true happiness?
