BAILEY
Despite a sometimes difficult upbringing, Iโve always had my twin sister by my side. We live together, play professional softball together, and rely on each other for everything. Everything. I always put my own needs aside for her.
While my sisterโs passion is softball, mine is children. Working with them, spending time with them, and, hopefully, one day having them.
So I accept my dream job, nannying for a single father, one I canโt help but be attracted to. Despite months of fighting our feelings, things eventually happen between us, and we agree to keep it casual. The problem is that my feelings are anything but casual.
In order to protect my heart, I know itโs time to put an end to it. But thenโฆ the unthinkable happens.
TANNER
My daughter and my business as a sports agent. Theyโre the only things Iโll ever want or need in my life. At least thatโs what Iโm telling myself.
In walks Bailey Hart. My daughterโs new, too-young-for-me, nanny. Sheโs the forbidden fruit, and as the oldest story goes, I canโt seem to help myself from taking a bite.
Iโm upfront with her about what we are. Casual. Friends with some excellent โbenefits.โ Iโm too damaged to ever get involved in a long-term relationship again.
When I hurt her, Iโm surprised to find it hurts me just as much. I know itโs for the best, but itโs got me rethinking everything I always thought I wanted. Is it too late to swing for the fences and find my own happiness?
Iโm a sports agent, not a ballplayer. I guess thatโs why I never saw the curveball being thrown my way.
