Head Over Heels

Single dad seeks nanny. Benefits are … mind-blowing.

My best friend, Liv, is leaving town. No surprise there: She’s never stayed in one place more than a few years, and it’s past time for her to move on. Only her car broke down, and she’s got no job and no place to stay while she gets back on her feet. 

Meanwhile, I’m a single dad, and my nanny just quit. 

Problem solved, right? Liv can be my temporary nanny. And it’s just two weeks, so no chance for things to get complicated—even if suddenly I’m noticing just how beautiful Liv is. 

But being under the same roof with Liv is making me look at everything differently. For the first time, I don’t want to be the guy who sleeps around, and “just friends” doesn’t feel like enough. I’m starting to want more—and she’s not saying no.

If things keep going like this, someone’s going to get hurt. And I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be me.
