Working as the nanny for her best friend’s brother was supposed to be simple.
Until the single dad she can’t have starts looking at her like she’s everything he wants.
Nora Miller knows that her best friend’s brother is completely out of her league. He’s older, extremely successful, and still carrying the quiet heartbreak of losing his wife two years ago.
But when Theo’s nanny suddenly quits and he asks Nora to fill in, she can’t turn him down.
As long as no one discovers her hopeless crush on her new boss, everything should be fine.
Theo Archibald is doing his best to rebuild his life after loss, but no matter how many dates he goes on, nothing ever feels right—something, he tells himself, that has nothing to do with his daughter’s new nanny.
But with Nora filling his home with warmth and laughter, it’s getting harder to pretend he doesn’t notice her. And somewhere between the stolen glances and late-night talks, the lines begin to blur, and he realizes he’s thinking about her in ways he shouldn’t.
She’s younger.
His sister’s best friend.
His employee.
But when she’s in his arms and the ache in his chest finally quiets, it’s hard to care about the rules he swore he wouldn’t break.
And when the woman who’s become his daughter’s favorite person starts to feel like the home he never thought he’d find again, he has to decide if a second chance at love is worth the risk… or if some lines should never be crossed.

This was such a beautiful slow burn romance. I loved Theo and Nora’s story, and little Charlotte was such a cute kid with so much energy honestly, just the sweetest little girl.
This definitely has the love after loss trope. It’s been a few years since his wife passed, and there are many moments in the story that bring up her memory through thoughts or spoken words. Love after loss is one of my favourite tropes, and the way Theo took his time processing his feelings for Nora was beautiful. Nora was so sweet with Charlotte but also patient with Theo. I loved the friends gathering and the games night they had. It was a very slow build before things really started to happen, but it made the tension and chemistry worth it. When we got to the slightly intimate scenes, it made you smile. The light touches and slow, sweet kisses were perfect. I do need to mention that this is closed door spice, so we only got first and second base moments on page, such as running hands over the body and kissing, but that was it which I personally don’t mind.
I do want to mention that, even though I enjoyed the very slow build, I wish we got a little more flirtatious behaviour between them early on. It took a while for me to warm up to the relationship forming, as it felt very uncertain for the first 20–30% of the book, and I was waiting for the spark. I also was expecting resistance toward the relationship from friends or family, since it has the forbidden element, but everything was fine.
Lastly, I picked up the audiobook to read along with the eBook. It’s done in dual narration, and Amy and Austin were fantastic. This was my first experience with these narrators, but I hope I get to listen to more of their work in the future.
Overall, I enjoyed this character driven story. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for more of Judy’s books in the future.
