I’ve been called a lot of things in my life—gruff, intense, overprotective—but grumpy? That’s a new one.After losing my wife, I left the noise of professional hockey and billion-dollar boardrooms behind, trading city chaos for small-town peace in Passion Pointe, Tennessee. I’ve got one mission: raise my son right and keep our world calm, quiet, and free from emotional chaos.
Then Linda Carter shows up, all curves, sass, and bright opinions wrapped in a nanny application.
She’s completely wrong for the job… and somehow, exactly what my son needs.
What I didn’t expect? That I’d need her just as much.
One smile from her turns my world upside down. One laugh makes the walls I’ve built start to crack. And the way she looks at me? It’s dangerous.
But she’s got rules, and so do I.
Rule #1: Don’t get attached.
Rule #2: Don’t mix business with pleasure.
Rule #3: Definitely don’t fall for the nanny.
Too late.
Because the more time I spend with Linda, the more I realize this fiery, big-hearted woman isn’t just helping us heal—she might be the piece we didn’t know we were missing.
And if breaking every rule is what it takes to make her ours?
Well then…
They can call me grumpy all they want.
