About this book

When an eighteen-year-old with uncertain plans meets the gruff landscaper next door, she's drawn in by his rough charm and even more by his sweet, lonely son who desperately needs her care. Taking a nanny position seems like the perfect way to earn money and fill her time, but as she settles into their lives, her feelings for Thayer deepen in ways she never anticipated. The age gap looms large between them—almost fifteen years of different life experiences and stages—but the connection they share feels undeniably real. This is a swoon-worthy second-chance-at-life story about finding love when you're still figuring out who you are.

AI-generated synopsis

Sultry indie-pop and R&B blended with acoustic vulnerability—the feeling of slow-burn tension, stolen glances, and deepening desire. Sensual yet tender, like summer heat meeting quiet domesticity. Artists like Hozier, SZA, and The National capture this intoxicating mix of longing, passion, and unexpected intimacy.
