A single dad. A gorgeous woman volunteers to babysit. It’s temporary. A love never expected…
Skylar Wesson arrives in town with free time until her new position opens at the hospital. She’s a fearless emergency department physician, unafraid until now. She’s single and pregnant.
It turns out the owner of the local landscape nursery needs a babysitter. Cameron Bowman is a hunk. Of course he is, given the way he hauls potted trees around. He’s a widower, raising a toddler alone and running himself ragged. Skylar needs firsthand childcare experience. Since it’s her biggest fear, why not try this babysitting gig? She must manage parenthood with twelve-hour workdays and raising a baby alone. It’ll be a test run. Cameron’s adorable toddler is only two. She’s an educated adult. How hard could it be?
As his new sitter, Skylar soon learns Cameron’s the most patient, reticent man she has ever met. It isn’t long before heat crackles the same air she breathes whenever she’s alongside him. Except he’s lonely and misses his wife. Skylar shouldn’t get close. Still, the daily antics with Cameron’s son have Skylar falling for both Bowman boys.
All it takes is one mistake. Skylar stirs one too many memories of his wife and learns he’ll never recover from losing her.
Any shot with Cameron, and she’d always come in second place.
Is it wrong to want someone to love her as much as Cameron loved his wife? She can wait for that kind of love, can’t she?
But when her ex wants her back…
