Second Chance Family
Annie Knight has her work cut out for her as the McGregor family’s newest nanny. Dr. Ian McGregor means well, but the distracted single dad’s lost touch with his four kids. The new nanny brings much-needed calm to the chaos, including finding a service dog that could be a real lifesaver. And soon the good doctor’s making Annie’s heart respond in ways it hasn’t for years. But Annie’s cheery demeanor hides a heart-wrenching secret that’s as much a part of her as her carefully hidden scars. Annie doesn’t think she deserves happiness—but Ian and his kids will show the caretaker that with the love of family, everything’s possible.
“See you at home,” Annie said.
Ian caught her arm before she reached the SUV. She glanced back at him. The look of appreciation in his eyes jammed her throat. She felt special in that moment, more special than she had in a long time.
“Annie, I don’t even know how to begin thanking you for your help.”
She covered his hand with hers, the physical connection making everything fade from her consciousness except the man near her. She smiled. “You just did.” She continued her trek around to the car’s driver’s side, missing his touch.
That was too dangerous for her to get used to.
She’d let down her defenses in college and had risked her heart once before with David and ended up brokenhearted. She couldn’t go through that again.
As she started the car, she realized that when she’d said, “See you at home,” she’d felt as though his house was her home. More than she had at any place she’d been a nanny…

Dr. Ian McGregor sank into a chair at his kitchen table, exhausted after wrestling with Joshua to take a much-needed nap. With his elbows on the oak surface still cluttered with the lunch dishes, Ian closed his eyes and buried his face in his hands, massaging his fingertips into his pounding temples. How did Aunt Louise handle Joshua when his youngest was dead tired yet fighting to stay awake?
With a lot of practice, no doubt. Something he lacked. Ian glanced at the clock on the wall and shot to his feet. The next candidate for nanny, one who had come highly recommended, would be here in ten minutes. He had high hopes she would work out because no one else had since Aunt Louise had passed away six months ago. Ian missed his aunt’s bright, cheerful smile and all the love she’d had for his family.
Locking away his sorrow, Ian looked at the chaos
