When a former pro football player discovers he's the father of a two-year-old, he makes a desperate decision: hiring the one woman who shattered his heart nine years ago to be his nanny. Amelia was his high school sweetheart, the girl who nearly derailed his entire comeback, but she's also somehow perfect with his son—and way too tempting to resist. As old chemistry reignites and one steamy night threatens to complicate everything, they're forced to confront whether second chances are worth the risk, or if some broken things are better left alone. This is a swoon-worthy second-chance romance that proves sometimes the person who hurt you most is exactly who you need.
