Runaway Love

Texas Buckley

Yes, I'm a summertime nanny-in-waiting for a single parent.

But employ the lost and destitute bride who unexpectedly appears at my door dressed like a princess and without any experience, qualifications, or references?

Nobody is that in need.

But in less than twenty-four hours, unfortunate Veronica Sutton charms my family, my children, and half of Cherry Tree Harbor into thinking she's the ideal candidate for the position.

together with me.

Not because I don't think those adorable baby blue eyes are appealing. The unending limbs? Did that mouth invite trouble? However, managing the family company and raising two children alone is more than enough for me to handle. I'm not in the mood or have the time to be sucked into a public city girl.

I ought to have refrained from touching anything.

Putting my arms around her was a tremendous mistake. Worse still? staying up together during the night. I can't seem to put out the possessive fire she lights within of me.

The most inexcusable, though? I'm becoming used to her giggle, her skin's aroma, and the way her body curves around me in the dark.

She is going to leave at the end of the summer.

And my heart could escape her if I'm not cautious.
