Kai<\/p>\n
I’m a single dad and starting pitcher for Chicago’s MLB team.
\nI’m stretched too thin, but I don’t want help raising my son.<\/p>\n
Each of his previous nannies only lasted a few weeks before I let them go.
\nNow, my coach is putting his foot down by hiring the one person I can’t fire, his daughter.<\/p>\n
Miller Montgomery is the last woman I should fall for. Too wild, too young, and too unattached.<\/p>\n
Chicago is just a quick stop for her. I thought I’d be counting down the days until she left, but summer feels too short when I start thinking about forever.<\/p>\n

As a high-end pastry chef who recently won the most prestigious award in my industry, I’m desperate to prove I deserve it. But with a new title comes new pressure, and I can’t create a fresh and inspiring dessert to save my life.<\/p>\n
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 player’s kid.<\/p>\n
Kai Rhodes forgot how to have fun, and I’m 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.<\/p>\n
Besides, I’ve always been a runner, and the last thing I want is to get caught.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
