The Au Pair Case

Tallulah is smart, vivacious, and studying to become a marine biologist. She is also twenty-six years old and penniless. So, when Burgess—a battle-scarred hockey veteran and now a single father—offers her a job as a live-in nanny, she seizes the opportunity to get paid while living in a luxury neighborhood and spending time with Lissa, Burgess’s introverted pre-teen daughter.

However, the girl she is supposed to care for is not the only one who needs help fitting in. According to, well, everyone except Burgess himself, he needs to start dating women again, and the adventurous Tallulah is the perfect person to show him the way. But as boundaries are slowly crossed and Burgess finds himself torn between his daughter, who wants to see her parents back together, and his overwhelming chemistry with Tallulah, a chasm opens between them that may never be bridged. 

Burgess will have to fight hard to prove that he knows what he wants and that he is worthy of a “happily ever after.”
