Guarded Heart by Gina Norris

I thought I’d outgrown the crush I had on my best friend’s brother.
Except now I’m working for him as his daughter’s live-in nanny.
We spent years going at each other’s throats, while I silently wished he would stop treating me like his little sister’s best friend.
After losing the mother of his daughter, he’s determined to keep his heart guarded.
But I’m determined to make him see what he and his daughter really need.
What I didn’t expect was to be doused in flames.
For his strong hands to affect me in ways I couldn’t have imagined.
How easily I melt when he looks at me with those green eyes.
Watching him be a father makes me dream of our own kids.
This was supposed to be temporary.
I had plans on leaving Maple Creek, getting away from this place for good.
But the child I’ve grown to love as my own, and her single father that’s twisting me up inside, are changing everything I’ve constructed.
Is it enough to knock down his walls though?
