When your best friend bids on you at a charity auction years ago, you never expect it to become the start of something that changes everything—but here you are, best friends with the woman who's had your heart racing ever since. Now she's living under your roof for the summer as your twins' nanny, and the careful distance you've maintained is crumbling fast, especially when she's giving you looks that say she's ready to explore the tension sizzling between you. The problem? She means everything to you, and risking your friendship—or worse, hurting your kids in the process—feels like a price too high to pay, even if keeping your hands to yourself might be impossible. Get ready for all the spicy chemistry, small-town feels, and the delicious agony of two people who want each other but are terrified of what they might lose.
