Wedding planner—to wife and mother?
Jamie Wallis needs a replacement nanny for his daughter—fast! So when a stunning young woman comes to him with a business proposal, he has a different proposition for her...
Securing Jamie’s investment is essential, but Sophie Firth wasn’t expecting to be asked to care for his daughter! However, once they meet, Sophie can’t help adoring little Sienna. And, as Christmas approaches, Sophie quickly becomes part of the family—and Jamie can’t resist letting her into his heart!
Sophie knew the hug was a mistake as soon as she’d done it.
She could smell the citrussy scent of his shower gel and feel the steady thud of his heart against her. And the surge of sheer attraction, tempting her to jam her mouth over his and let him lose himself in her, forget his pain for a while…
This was insane.
It had to stop.
Now.
She dropped her hands and pulled away. Sorry. I overstepped the boundaries. I just thought you could do with a hug.’
‘I could. Thank you,’ he said.
‘I...um...I’d better get going.’
‘Thank you for today,’ he said. ‘For everything you’ve done. I appreciate it.’
‘No problem. I’ll see you Monday.’
Panic skittered across his face. ‘Sophie, I know it’s pushy of me to ask, but... I don’t have a clue what to do with Sienna tomorrow. There’s only so much story-telling and colouring we can do in a day.’
‘You could always do something messy,’ she suggested. He looked horrified.
He looked horrified.
She frowned. ‘Didn’t you do that sort of thing as a kid?’
‘No. My mother didn’t like mess.’ Her thoughts must have shown on her face, because he said, ‘There’s nothing wrong with liking a tidy house.’
‘And there’s nothing wrong with a bit of mess, either,’ she said. ‘It doesn’t take that long to clear up.’
She left without finishing her coffee, and before she did anything really crazy—like sliding her arms round his neck and kissing him stupid.

‘ALL RIGHT, MISS FIRTH. You have ten minutes to convince me why I should invest in your company.’ Jamie Wallis leaned back in his chair, unsmiling, and looked at her.
Sophie caught her breath.
This was it.
The next ten minutes could change her entire life.
She needed to be more professional now than she’d ever been. And she really needed to ignore the fact that Jamie Wallis was one of the most beautiful men she’d ever met. The photographs she’d seen didn’t do him justice. And Eva hadn’t warned her that you could practically drown in his dark eyes.
Focus, she told herself. Because everyone’s counting on you to get his backing.
