Kai
Iโm a single dad and starting pitcher for Chicagoโs MLB team.
Iโm stretched too thin, but I donโt want help raising my son.
Each of his previous nannies only lasted a few weeks before I let them go.
Now, my coach is putting his foot down by hiring the one person I canโt fireโhis daughter.
Miller Montgomery is the last woman I should fall for. Too wild, too young, and too unattached. Chicago is just a quick stop for her. I thought Iโd be counting down the days until she left, but summer feels too short when I start thinking about forever.
Miller
As a high-end pastry chef who recently won the most prestigious award in my industry, Iโm desperate to prove I deserve it. But with a new title comes new pressure, and I canโt create a fresh and inspiring dessert to save my life.
With only two months to get back on track, I should be focusing in the kitchen, but instead, I let my dad talk me into using my time off to nanny for his star playerโs kid.
Kai Rhodes forgot how to have fun, and Iโm eager to jog his memory. But when he and his son start to feel like home, I have to remind us both that my time in Chicago ends with the summer.
Besides, Iโve always been a runner, and the last thing I want is to get caught.

This was one of those books.
Not only is this a romance book, but also one about healing. Kai & Miller both support one another in the ways that they need, and help them heal from their pasts. They also balance each other out perfectly ๐ฅฐ
She SEES him. Immediately. What he really wants and needs. And he sees her too. Beyond what she puts out in the world.
I really fell so in love with all 3 of these main characters – (baby) Max is definitely such an integral part of the story ๐ฅน
The banter was spot on, I love the dynamic between Miller & Kai.
