Keeping his distance was easy—until she made him want more.


Lachlan

So what if I’ve gone through four nannies in three years? I know what’s best for my children and it’s not the one my mum and ex-wife have hired.

​

Peyton may be all kinds of beautiful but she’s a city girl, a former surgeon and has zero nanny experience.

The problem? My kids adore her. My family swears she’s perfect. And the more time I spend around her, the harder it is to keep my distance.

​

She’s brave, warm, and far too easy to fall for. But the farm is no place for a woman like Peyton; she will not stay. And when she leaves. She will take my heart with her.

​

I’ve already failed at love once. I can’t risk it again.



Peyton

Losing my surgical career was devastating. Moving to Australia as a live-in nanny felt like a chance to start over.

​

It gets me away from my controlling family and gives me the space to make my own choices.

​

Falling for my gruff, maddeningly gorgeous boss? Not the wisest choice I could make.

​

But Lachlan sees me—really sees me—scars and all. He makes me laugh, makes me feel wanted, and when he sings, my knees go weak.

​

For the first time I feel like I belong…until my family interferes. Suddenly I’m left with no job, no home, and one impossible choice—go back to the life I escaped, or fight for the man, the kids, and the home I never saw coming.

Wombats are one of my favourite Australian animals. I have had a close encounter with one and can remeber the hard plate on its back end.
