I’m so close to everything I’ve ever wanted, including getting my graduate degree in reading education, when a series of unfortunate financial events hits me like a ton of bricks. I need a job and I need one NOW or else I’m in big trouble. This was not in my plan and I’m crossing every appendage I have that I can find something that fits with my class schedule, will pay enough, and won’t destroy my soul. A very tall order. One minute I’m a single mom in grad school, living away from my family for the first time, and the next I’m withdrawing from school, moving back home, and signing a lease for my very own romance bookstore, all thanks to an inheritance from my beloved grandmother. The new bookstore is taking up all my time and both of my moms are unavailable to watch my daughter, Juniper, but my best friend, Sophie, knows someone she thinks will be perfect. Looking after Juniper should be a breeze. She’s a fun, well-behaved (relatively), and engaging kid. The problem is her mother, Larison. I never should have taken the job when, during the interview, I was hit by a bolt of lust so strong, I almost blacked out. She’s definitely a Mom I’d Like to…well. You know. If this were a regular workplace, I’d report myself to HR, but I seriously need the cash from this job. All I have to do is keep it in my pants until I’m financially out of the woods. Being distractingly attracted to my new nanny was not something I ever saw happening to me, but here we are. Jo is driven and gorgeous and she’s wonderful with my daughter in a way that makes me feel all kinds of inappropriate things. The combination is lethal and I’m struggling to keep my professional distance, but it’s taking a toll on my sanity. I never should have hired her.
