I'm a lot of things - a screwup, a basket case, a flunky. But when I take a nanny job to be near my pregnant sister, I swear to myself I'll walk the straight and narrow, which means I cannot fall for my insanely hot boss.

So when my world comes crashing down, I run to a place where no one knows me. A small mountain town where I can hide from my past. Only I don't get far. My first day in town, I'm assigned a babysitter. Ford Montgomery. A man who drives me crazy with his rude, broody attitude and his backward baseball caps. A man who's my new boss for the summer.

Imagine the guy you’ve always wanted just whispered that in your ear. That you have one night to see what you’ve been missing. I’ve had a crush on Emmett Ward for as long as I can remember.
