A sports rom-com about a gruff, tough, single dad who finds himself falling—hard and fast—for his quirky, live-in nanny…

Tallulah is smart, full of life, and on her way to becoming a marine biologist. She’s also twenty-six, broke, and in desperate need of a solid job. So when Burgess—a battle-hardened hockey veteran and newly single father—offers her a live-in nanny position, she jumps at the chance. A paycheck, a swanky neighborhood, and the chance to bond with Lissa, his quiet but seriously cool tween? Sign her up.

But it turns out Lissa isn’t the only one who could use a little help navigating life. According to pretty much everyone (except Burgess himself), it’s time for him to put himself back out there. And who better to help than fearless, free-spirited Tallulah?

As lines blur and sparks fly, Burgess finds himself torn between his growing feelings for Tallulah and his daughter, who’s still holding out hope for her parents to reunite. The tension reaches a breaking point, and Tallulah—doing what she thinks is best—chooses to walk away, shattering her own heart in the process.

Burgess tells himself it’s for the best. He’s got too much baggage, too many scars. But when fate (and a very determined Lissa) pushes them back together, he’s forced to make a choice: let his past define him or fight like hell for the future he never thought he deserved—with Tallulah by his side.
