Can these two lonely souls catch a lucky break in love?
Harley Von’s never been lucky in life, let alone in love. And her streak of ill fortune continues when her long-lost brother passes away just as they were on the verge of reconnecting. On the run from a bad relationship, she’s less than delighted to find herself sharing Sebastian’s fixer-upper with his gruff but gorgeous friend, Garrett. With her ex breathing down her neck and a baby on the way, Harley’s got plenty to deal with. Falling for a sexy SEAL isn’t part of her plan.
Navy SEAL Garrett Moore isn’t looking for romance. His life is the SEALs, end of discussion. Still grieving and guilt-ridden over his teammate’s death, he’s determined to do what he can to help Sebastian’s sister. And Harley’s combination of vulnerability and determination is captivating. She’s like a skittish fawn refusing to back down from a mountain lion.
He can’t help feeling protective of her, especially when the ex shows up and gets physical. But Garrett’s only in town for as long as it takes to repair the old house.
Love has a funny way of changing things, though.

I have a confession. I hate bachelorette parties. A night of dick straws, awkward dancing, and being told “it’ll be you soon, Kaitlyn!” Especially when it’s at a super swanky Miami club—exactly where I don’t belong. Couldn’t get any worse, right?
Enter Mr. Tall, Dark, and I-didn’t-know-they-made-people-this-gorgeous. Grump supreme. His scowl has a scowl. Especially after I knock a drink onto a VIP and myself. He must be the manager of the club because he has keys to the penthouse above it. A penthouse he offers to let me change clothes in. A penthouse we screw all over. Then, he gets a call and kicks me out. Jerk. Told you it got worse.
Ready for worse? The first day at my new job as a nanny and Mr. Scowl is my boss. James Morris. Billionaire club owner, deal maker, and first-grade bosshole—if the tabloids are to be believed. Also a single dad to an adorable daughter who needs my help.
But there’s no way I can take this job—every time I look at him, I’m back in that penthouse. And from the way he smiles when he looks at me, he’s thinking the same. Then he tells me why this has to work. Why he needs me. Why I can’t say no.
New confession? I hate my boss.
