A grumpy cowboy single dad hired a nanny for the summer — not a curvy sunbeam to steal his heart.

Description

Broody single dad. Plus-size nanny. One summer under the same roof... what could go wrong?I was supposed to spend the summer nannying, not falling for a grumpy cowboy with a chip on his shoulder. Brody Callahan doesn’t want me here—he made that clear. But his daughter loves me, and if I’m honest... I might already love her too. I I didn’t count on wanting her dad as much as I do.I hired a live-in nanny for the summer to make my life easier. The last thing I need is a curvy, cheerful tornado named Winnie messing up my routine—or my heart. It's her job to care for my daughter, not to invade my thoughts or make me dream of things I swore I’d never want. But she’s sass and stubbornness wrapped in yoga pants and sunshine. Before I know it, she’s tangled so deeply in my life, I don't know how I'll ever let her go.***These four single dads thought they were done with love. But love... isn’t done with them.They’ve been burned—by divorce, betrayal, heartbreak—and now their lives revolve around playdates, carpools, and bedtime stories. Love? Not happening. Not again.When unexpected women storm into their carefully controlled worlds—bringing sass, chaos, and the kind of heat they thought they’d locked away for good—these devoted fathers face a new kind of falling for the one person they shouldn’t.
