Five years ago, when Sydney Campbell came through Marietta on her way to the big Grey family Christmas, she ran into newcomer Jackson Flint in Grey’s Saloon. Directly into him.
In Montana, to build some bridges with his older, billionaire half-brothers, Jackson didn’t plan to stay. Sydney was just visiting family from her high-stakes life in D.C. For one night, they lit each other on fire, kissed goodbye, and never thought they’d see each other again.
But Jackson built more than bridges and put down roots. And just about every holiday, he’s watched Sydney turn up in town. The fire that always blazes between them gets hotter every visit, but this time is different. This fall, Sydney decides to stay a while. With the 85th Copper Mountain Rodeo taking Marietta by storm, Jackson knows this is the chance he’s been waiting for.
And he means to take it—if he can convince the only woman he’s ever wanted that there’s more freedom in loving him than letting go.

WANTED: Nanny who will put up with an infuriatingly grumpy Irish billionaire.
If you throw an Irish billionaire out of a plane at 40,000 feet, would he fly? That’s the question I asked myself when Declan Bryne basically told me that it’d be “grand if I could stop talking.”
I can’t help it. I’m a nervous flyer. But that should’ve been my sign to hit EJECT! Because this is doomed to fail.
He’s a total grump. He obviously doesn’t like me. He’s too distractingly gorgeous to be around for any length of time. And he’s made it clear that as soon as he can find another nanny, I’m gone.
But this Minnesota girl is made of tough stuff. I know I can make it through one Irish summer with one sexy Irish curmudgeon.
At least, I thought I could until he became that much harder to resist. The way he is around his niece, Catie, is Hallmark-worthy. The more I work for Declan, the more I realize there’s something growing between us…an attraction that’s impossible to resist. Declan hides a kind heart behind his stormy, gruff demeanor. And that accent. That suave Irish brogue makes my insides melt.
The cardinal rule of being a nanny is to not get involved with the family. To maintain a professional distance. Sleeping with Declan would definitely cross that line.
Some rules are meant to be kept. Others are meant to be shattered.
