I need a nanny. Not a distraction.
I certainly do not need a twentysomething man with a devastating smile, tattooed forearms, and an easy charm that could unravel a woman twice as composed as me.
But when my daughter gets kicked out of after-school care (again) and my flaky nanny ghosts us (again), Austin Calloway moves into the duplex next door—and right into our lives.
Now he’s helping with homework, cooking dinner shirtless, and showing up with coffee like he’s always belonged here.
He’s too young.
Too familiar.
Too good with my daughter.
Too close.
And the worst part? He sees through me—the cracks, the stress, the walls I’ve built to protect what’s mine.
The more I try to keep him out, the more I ache to let him in.
But letting someone in means risking everything.
He’s the wrong choice . . . unless we’re finally ready to see what happens when we fall.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Wow, Austin and Selene’s story was so good.
A hot fling with a sexy stranger at a bar turns into so much more when Austin ends up being Selene’s new next-door neighbor and part-time manny. The connection between these two was amazing, and I loved how they lifted each other up. Austin *saw* Selene, and gave her back the self-confidence she lost after her divorce. Being a single mother and running her museum restoration business has left her completely overwhelmed. Austin was an unexpected gift in her life. He was so amazing with both Selene and her precocious daughter, Winnie. And for Austin, Selene grounded him. He is Brody’s half-brother, but always felt less-than because he didn’t grow up with their father. For the first time, with Selene and Winnie, Austin felt like he fit in and found his place, and I loved that for him.
This is the second book in the Star Harbor series, so we get to know the friend group a bit better. (Selene is Ellie’s sister from Book 1.) Lena Hendrix also continues the Lady of the Dunes story, and I am really enjoying that mystery subplot.
If you love a golden retriever, he-falls-first hero, Austin is a winner!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
