She was only the temporary nannyâŚuntil love made her want to stay.
When American Catriona Blake agrees to spend December caring for the daughters of renowned London surgeon Dr. Rhys Harmon, she tells herself itâs just a temporary jobâone month in a borrowed cottage on the edge of Langley Park, enough money to get home to Michigan, and no complications.
But nothing about Rhys or his girls is simple. Divorced for four years, heâs rented the centuries-old cottage outside Bakewell to create new traditions and give his daughters new memories. Yet the girls miss their vivacious mother and find it difficult to feel festive without herâwhich only deepens Rhysâs quiet fear that heâs failing them.
Catriona never expected to fall for her impossible, brilliant employerâor his lovely, complicated family. But one promise to eleven-year-old Jillian changes everything, binding Catriona to a truth she canât ignore and a vow she canât break⌠even if keeping it means breaking her own heart when love comes too soon, and Christmas ends too fast.
