Sexy single-dad billionaire meets temporary nanny...
When Tate Harper’s sister disappears, the globe-trotting TV host is suddenly the caregiver for her infant niece. She has to find her sister ASAP! Enter single father and sexy CEO Linc Ballantyne, her sister’s ex. He’s a family man to the core, and he’ll help Tate—if she agrees to be his temporary live-in nanny.
Soon she’s juggling a baby, a toddler and a growing attraction to the billionaire Ballantyne. But when it’s time to go back to her real life, will she pack her bags or stay and find out what being a family really means?
“I want you, Tate. Badly.”
Linc’s big hand covered her cheek and he placed his thumb in the center of her bottom lip.
“I want you, too,” Tate admitted. “It’s inconvenient and crazy and there are a thousand reasons why it’s a bad idea—”
But she didn’t have the strength or the willpower to walk away. This one time, she couldn’t resist temptation. But, because she had to, she could protect herself. So she did what she always did—she laid out the rules of engagement. That way, there couldn’t be any misunderstandings.
“This is a very temporary arrangement, Linc. We’re just two adults who are wickedly attracted to each other.” This couldn’t be anything more and he needed to know that. “This is temporary. So, no expectations, okay?”
“Understood,” Linc said.
The fist clenching her heart relaxed. She could do this, and she would be fine. She had to be—anything else wasn’t an option.
“So, to spell it out, I look after the kids and you…well, you do what you do. Do we have a deal?”
Linc smiled. “Yes, we have a deal.”

Tate Harper had eaten deep-fried crickets in Thailand and snacked on guinea pig in Peru. She’d been lost in a jungle in Costa Rica and danced the night away in a run-down cantina in a Rio favela. She’d been propositioned by both rich and poor men in every corner of the world. As the host of a travel program exploring different food cultures, she’d faced some unusual situations in her life.
But nothing gave her the heavyhearted feeling that a meeting with Kari did.
Tate pushed her fist into her sternum and gripped the handle of the door to the diner. It was a wintry Wednesday afternoon in early January, and she’d touched down at JFK just after six that morning. After already having spent the morning with the executive producers of the travel channel she worked for, discussing her options for hosting a new travel series, she was mentally and physically exhausted. She simply didn’t have the energy to deal with her older-in-years-but-still-a-child cousin.
Adopted sister. Whatever the hell Kari was.
Not for the first, or hundredth time, Tate wished that she and Kari were closer, that they were each other’s best friends, but, despite she and Kari sharing the same house since she was eight, they’d never really
