Publisher's Synopsis
Nate
Delaying treatment for my bum knee until the off season isn't the smartest move, but hey, I'm a big dumb jock. And pro hockey players play, come hell or broken bones.
That stupid knee sends me sprawling in front of the prettiest lady in Central Park. She's also smart, and kind, and she bonds with my young daughter Quinn over strawberry cheesecake ice cream. Can't hurt to ask her out for coffee, right?
Carly
There aren't many options for a laid-off au pair in New York City. I can't live on couch surfing, ranty blogging, and less ranty freelance articles forever, but I won't work with kids again. It's too painful when it ends.
But coffee with a single dad can't hurt, right? Maybe a second date. Heck, why not make it one steamy night in his bed? But when Nate has to go under the knife, he asks me to help care for his daughter. I don't want to be a nanny again, but I can't turn him down. I'll just have to keep my guard up to protect my heart.
