June Arrives, August Stays - Paperback

Falling for the mother wasn't in the nanny contract.

Months ago, June Hollis fled the restaurant business. Now she takes a nanny job for the summer to build up savings and regroup. She didn't expect the lonely seven-year-old obsessed with otters, the kitchen that hasn't seen a home-cooked meal in years, or Senator Melissa Brandt-brilliant, guarded, and absolutely off-limits.

Melissa has spent her career building walls-political, personal, and carefully maintained. She doesn't need complications, and she definitely doesn't need feelings for the twenty-three-year-old making her daughter laugh for the first time in months.

But summer has a way of melting defenses. Late-night conversations turn into lingering looks. Accidental touches become intentional ones. And somewhere between Fourth of July fireworks and August thunderstorms, both women start wanting something neither of them planned.

When the outside world closes in, they'll have to choose between safety and something far more dangerous-each other.

If you love age-gap romance, single moms, and live-in nannies who fall a little too hard, June Arrives, August Stays is for you. This is the spicier version of the book (about 2 chilis or a little more); a sweet version of the book is also available.
