After moving to the small-town of Canyon Creek with nothing to her name but an ancient car off of craigslist, and a teaching position at the local middle school, Ivy Bennett quickly learned to love two things.
The two best friends she’s made—her eighty-year-old landlord and a more age-appropriate coworker—and the charming little town nestled in the pines.
The thing she hasn’t learned to love? Her job.
As if fate intervenes, Ivy gets laid off, and a job nannying for her best friend’s brother falls right in her lap.
Enter Wes Cooper.
He’s grumpy, tattooed, hot as hell, and has Ivy so nervous, she can’t help but make an ass of herself.
But when he lets his guard down, when the silence surrounds them, she realizes it’s all a mask to protect him and his daughter's hearts. When he melts for his daughter, and makes sure Ivy’s taken care of, she can’t help but fall.
Ivy has spent most of her adult life feeling alone—like a burden—but when Wes, and the sweetest little girl alive accept her into their life and family, she finally feels whole. Home.
She knows she’s just the nanny for the scowling tattoo artist, but she can’t help but feel like she’s right where she belongs.
