Hester Ward first met Connah Carey Jones when he and woman appeared at her mother's B&B on a cold snowy night when she was a college student.
Ten years have passed and Hester has trained to become a nanny. Connah needs a nanny for his daughter for the summer and hires Hester. They take a vacation in Tuscany and while there attraction between the two ignites and his daughter Lawri falls in love with her also.
Connah proposes expanding their business arrangement to include marriage. Hester is in love with him but if he is in love with Hester he is not admitting it. "So Hester must choose between leaving the man she loves and the little girl she has come to love or resign herself to being Connah's practical, professional and very convenient wife."
Once she makes that decision things do not go well between the two because Connah has a problem being honest with Hester.
I enjoyed the book very much even if I wanted to knock sense into Connah at various times during the story.
ELLEN TOO
A true teacher is a person who, at the end of the school day, still likes children!
