Amelia Markley bursts onto the romance scene with a spicy small-town rom-com about a single tattoo artist father and the annoyingly sexy nanny he's determined not to fall for in this debut perfect for fans of Lana Ferguson and Meghan Quinn.

Meet Ivy Bennett. After fleeing California and a bad relationship, Ivy moves to the small town of Canyon Creek with nothing to her name but an ancient car off of Craigslist and a teaching position at the local middle school. She quickly learns to love two things: The two best friends she's made--her eighty-year-old landlord and a more age-appropriate coworker--and the charming little town nestled in the pines. The thing she hasn't learned to love? Her job. As if fate intervenes, Ivy gets laid off, and a job nannying for her best friend's brother falls right in her lap.

Enter Wes Cooper. He's grumpy, tattooed, hot as hell, and has Ivy so nervous that she can't help but make an ass of herself. Their relationship starts...rocky, but Ivy soon realizes it's all a mask to protect his and his daughter's hearts. In the rare moments when he lets his guard down, Ivy can't help but fall, especially seeing the way he melts for his daughter and makes sure Ivy's taken care of too. He seems like the perfect man, but will he let his walls down enough to let Ivy in for good? Or is she doomed to be the only one that falls headfirst?
