When city girl Willa takes a summer nanny job with the grumpiest rancher around, she expects it to be straightforward—except Cade Eaton is exactly her type, and he's starting to notice her too. After a steamy game of truth or dare in the hot tub changes everything between them, she discovers that beneath his rough exterior and filthy mouth is a man who's incredibly tender when it counts. As she watches him soften around his son and realizes how deeply he cares, Willa finds herself falling hard—but her contract only promises two months, and he's been hurt before by someone who said he wasn't enough. Can two people from completely different worlds convince each other that they're worth the risk?
