Caught Up

Kai-

I'm an MLB starting pitcher for the Chicago Cubs and a single father.

I'm overburdened, yet I don't want assistance in parenting my kid.

Before I let them leave, each of his prior nannies had only been there for a few weeks.

By employing his daughter—the one person I can't fire—my coach is now putting his foot down.

It's not appropriate for me to fall in love with Miller Montgomery. Too untamed, too young, too single.

For her, Chicago is simply a brief visit. I was under the impression that I would be counting down the days until she departed, but when I start to consider eternity, summer seems too short.

I'm anxious to show that, as a posh pastry chef who just took home the biggest honor in my field, I deserve it. But new pressure comes with a new title, and I am helpless to come up with a creative and original dessert to save my life.

I should have been concentrating in the kitchen with only two months to get back on track, but I let my dad convince me into spending my vacation time to babysit his star player's child.

I'm excited to help Kai Rhodes remember how to have fun—he seems to have forgotten. But I have to tell him and his kid that my time in Chicago ends in the summer, just when he and his son begin to feel like home.

In addition, I've always fled, and being caught is the last thing I want.
