Keeping his distance was easy—until she made him want more.

Lachlan

So what if I’ve gone through four nannies in three years? I know what’s best for my children and it’s not the one my mum and ex-wife have hired.

Peyton may be all kinds of beautiful but she’s a city girl, a former surgeon and has zero nanny experience.

The problem? My kids adore her. My family swears she’s perfect. And the more time I spend around her, the harder it is to keep my distance.

She’s brave, warm, and far too easy to fall for. But the farm is no place for a woman like Peyton; she will not stay. And when she leaves. She will take my heart with her.

I’ve already failed at love once. I can’t risk it again.


Peyton

Losing my surgical career was devastating. Moving to Australia as a live-in nanny felt like a chance to start over.

It gets me away from my controlling family and gives me the space to make my own choices.

Falling for my gruff, maddeningly gorgeous boss? Not the wisest choice I could make.

But Lachlan sees me—really sees me—scars and all. He makes me laugh, makes me feel wanted, and when he sings, my knees go weak.

For the first time I feel like I belong…until my family interferes. Suddenly I’m left with no job, no home, and one impossible choice—go back to the life I escaped, or fight for the man, the kids, and the home I never saw coming.
