When Aaliyah Montgomery flees her tiny hometown and leaves her fiancé at the altar, she doesn’t have concrete plans beyond escaping the unrelenting expectations of being a preacher’s daughter and earning a university degree of her own choosing. Though her cousin generously offers her a room, Liyah knows she’s going to need a job as well. The only problem? Babysitting and teaching Sunday school aren’t exactly the kind of job experience most employers look for. Tattoo artist legend Von Howard needs a nanny for his seven-year-old daughter, and he initially dismisses Aaliyah as too naive and inexperienced for the job. Desperate times call for desperate measures, though, and soon Aaliyah is charming his daughter and proving Von’s prejudices wrong. When their relationship starts to cross the line, they’ll have to overcome their troubled pasts in order to find a future together.
VERDICT Simone’s (An Off-Limits Merger) latest is a sexy story that’s sure to be catnip for fans of the bad boy/good girl trope and single dad/nanny romances.
