When a nanny position seems too perfect to be true, it absolutely is—especially when your new boss is the notoriously grumpy hockey coach Liam Cartright, who makes your first day feel like a penalty box sentence. But Liam's two little girls quickly melt your heart, and suddenly you're invested in this chaotic, wonderful family in ways you never expected. Things get complicated when the undeniable chemistry between you and your infuriatingly attractive boss leads to stolen moments and rule-breaking tension, leaving you caught between protecting your job and your heart. This is a delicious enemies-to-lovers story about finding love in the most complicated places and discovering that sometimes the best dreams come wrapped in surprises.
Reading soundtrack
Blend indie pop warmth with simmering R&B tension—think Gracie Abrams meets Daniel Caesar. Capture stolen glances, chemistry building through forced proximity, and the bittersweet pull between professional walls and undeniable desire. Contemporary romance energy with genuine heat.
