'I loved the plot and fell for the characters straight away' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader review

From finding herself to finding him...

Aaliyah Montgomery isn't just ditching her wedding. She's also fleeing her suffocating small town and her family's expectations. But landing a job in Chicago that fits her schedule isn't easy. Good thing Von Howard is desperate to find a live-in nanny. Bad thing that he's a gritty, gorgeous tattoo artist carrying as much baggage as he has ink.

Von's new hire is inexperienced and a fire hazard in the kitchen. She's also inconveniently attractive. But after the upheaval of a divorce, Von doesn't need anything complicated.

Deep down, Aaliyah's still running - from her feelings and her fear of losing herself to someone else's expectations again. Even as their pasts return to haunt them, is their undeniable heat a sign it's time for a love they didn't see coming

Perfect for fans of:

Workplace romance 💼

Small town to big city 🏡

He's her boss 👔
