Book Blurb:
Koda Jacobs urgently needs a nanny. Right now. Fresh from prison, Dalton Clayton needs a job-and just about anything will do.
Divine intervention steps in and tosses Koda and Dalton together. Koda struggles with the conflicts of her impulsive decision to leave her babies with an unknown, convicted felon. That just cannot be wise, can it? But she cannot help but see how quickly the children bonded to him and trust him. Or the reassuring sense that this is right.
Meanwhile, Dalton stumbles through the spills and thrills of two young children, and his growing interest in their mother. A chance meeting brings him back to his estranged family as well.
Over time, mutual attraction forms between Koda and Dalton as the bond between Dalton and the children deepens. A sweet, southern romance full of forgiveness, second chances, and fun kids.
Excerpt:
This is a scene where Dalton is playing hide and seek with the kids, and Koda arrives home and walks inside:
Buddy? Had Dalton just called Terry ‘Buddy’? A thud sounded, making everyone look at the closet. The door swung open, and Terry tumbled out, landing in a pile of assorted toy, umbrellas, and a bunch of stuff she’d forgotten about.
“No fair, Terry! You didn’t say we could hide inside stuff!”
Terry stood up, dusting himself off. “Duh, Ruthie, think about it. Hide and seek.”
Koda bit back a groan. Dalton knelt at his side, pushing stuff back in. “Great spot, buddy. Good thinking. Ruthie, now you’ll know for next time.”
“Can we play again?”
Dalton shot a look to Koda. “Now that your mom is home, I think I should go.
“Tomorrow?”
He smiled at the kids’ enthusiasm and then look over at Koda, making her breath race away.
“I sure hope so."
