I never expected to fall for my boss-especially one who hired me to care for his two young daughters while he toured across the country chasing a dream. Sam Stevens had it all until his wife walked out, leaving him to raise their girls alone. Heartbroken, bitter, and forced to put his career on hold, he faced an impossible choice: stay home and watch his dreams fade, or hit the road for a six-month U.S. tour and trust someone else to hold his family together. Enter me, Madison Prescott-a nanny with a sunny outlook and zero tolerance for his grumpy, closed-off attitude. But the longer I stayed, the harder it became to ignore the man behind the guarded walls. His charm was magnetic, his pain palpable, and our chemistry-undeniable. Long glances. Accidental touches. A pull I couldn't fight, no matter how hard I tried. I told myself it was just a crush, that falling for him would only end in heartbreak. But the spark between us refused to die-it burned brighter with every mile, every stolen moment, every look that lingered too long. As the kindle between us transformed into a blazing fire, can we keep our relationship professional, or should I just resign from my nanny position and leave the man who has a rock instead of a heart behind? But a little voice in my head tells me that with me in his corner, maybe he can get back at the top where he belongs.
