A warm, passionate romance from a NY-Times best-selling author. - In the year she’s worked as live-in nanny to Nick and Abby Dorset’s two children, Sophie Peters has come to care very much for the family.

Soon, Sophie’s wondering if she’s misjudged him . . . but would trusting a former womanizer be a terrible mistake? This is a first time regular print hardcover previously available in a mass market edition.
