About this ebook

He needs a nanny. She needs a job. Now, all they have to do is keep their hands off each other and their feelings to themselves. 


Single dad, Craig Carlson prides himself on being able to do it all. He’s never needed help running his business while single-handedly raising his little girl.

 

Until now.

 

An unexpected stipulation in his late father’s will requires him to hire a nanny for the next six months or his family—including his daughter—will lose everything.

 

Enter Lucy Willis, his new tenant, who planted a kiss on him before she knew he was her landlord. There's something about the newest resident of Trickle Creek that he can't quite put his finger on, but he likes her. If he's going to ask someone for help, it might as well be a stranger who doesn't have any idea of how hard it is for him.

 

Now, all he needs to do in order to fulfill his duties and keep his family legacy intact is deny his growing feelings for a woman who fills holes in his heart and home he never knew he had. 

 

Easy. Right?

The Carlsons are a crazy bunch with all the weird stipulations of their father’s will but each challenge they face seems to lead to so much growth. Craig is no different. He starts as a super dad who never asks for help to someone who totally gets it’s ok not to do everything alone. Lucy and Craig were such a perfect match but my favorite thing was Lucy knowing her worth and not taking less. This family is so much fun to read and I can’t wait until the next sibling.

Craig hires Lucy as nanny for his almost 6years old daughter, Meri. Lucy has come to Teickke Creek to escape a bad breakup and devious ex. Looking for work, she willingly accepted what was offered. A relationship develops between them as a couple, and also as a family. Craig and Lucy fall under the teams of his father's will..however he does not give her this particular information, especially how it involves his brothers and sisters and for this reason, wants to keep their relationship secret. It all comes out in embarrassing and difficult way. Certainly not the best outcome for anyone, especially Craig for failing to admit his feelings and reducing her to simply being 'hired help'. It takes a lot of soul searching and facing facts for everyone to recognize the implications.

I so enjoyed Lucy and Craig’s story. I'm really enjoying getting to know all the Carlson's and the characters of Trickle Creek. In trying to meet the terms of their father's will these siblings have to make changes to their lives. If they don't they all lose the inheritance. Seeing them each go through what's needed and find love along the way makes for a captivating read. I anxiously await the next book.
