Luca Bishop has one rule: no dating until his first-grader graduates high school. Period.
Between running a growing auto body shop and solo-parenting, romance isn't just off the table-it's somewhere in the garage under a tarp.
And with his schedule, it's time to hire a nanny.
Enter his daughter's gorgeous new dance teacher, who's also their next-door-neighbor. The one who smells like cinnamon. Who makes his kid beam and who laughs like sunshine.
Who already feels like his-if only she weren't leaving.
Ballet didn't dump Olivia Maroo-it just stopped calling.
At 33, Olivia knows pliés won't pay the bills forever, but she's not ready to hang up her pointe shoes just yet.
She just needs a few months to train for auditions, regroup, and totally not fall apart. So she returns to her hometown for the fall-where the maple syrup flows, the apple pie pancake breakfasts are elite, and the existential dread is pumpkin spice-flavored.
In exchange for ballet studio space, she agrees to teach at the local dance studio. It's temporary. Chill. Fine.
...Until she accidentally volunteers to nanny for her most adorably chaotic student-who just so happens to live next door with her extremely hot, extremely off-limits single dad. It has to be temporary.
But with cozy movie nights, cider-fueled slow dances, and a life she's already half in love with, she's not prepared for the kind of fall that changes everything.
Featuring:
- Single dad x nanny
- No third act breakup
- He falls first
- Hurt/Comfort
- Mutual pining
- Neighors-to-lovers
- Spicy scenes!
