Perfect for you if...

  • You love small-town romance with real stakes: single parents, second chances, and the tension between what you need and what you want.
  • You're after that slow-burn chemistry that actually earns its payoff through witty banter and genuine connection, not just instalove.
  • You want family-centred romance where the kids matter and the love interest has to win over more than just the protagonist.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer mysteries or heavy plot twists over character-driven emotional arcs.
  • You're looking for something darker or grittier; this is sweet and earnest despite its sexy moments.
  • You need your romance protagonists perfectly polished and prepared; Veronica's mess and impulsiveness will feel frustrating rather than endearing.

About this book

A single dad seeking a summer nanny hires Veronica Sutton, a runaway bride who arrives at his doorstep in a wedding gown with no references, skills, or experience. Despite his reservations, she quickly wins over his children, his family, and much of Cherry Tree Harbor. Though he recognizes her appeal, he has little time for romance while managing two children and the family business. He resolves to keep his distance from this outspoken city girl. However, physical attraction and emotional connection prove difficult to resist. As the summer progresses, he finds himself increasingly attached to her—her laugh, her presence, the intimacy they share. With her departure looming at summer's end, he worries she may take his heart with her when she leaves.
