The Last Thing by Bethany Monaco Smith

What do you do when the one night stand you were never supposed to see again shows up at your door as your daughter’s new nanny—and she’s pregnant with your baby? Convince her it’s all fate and you’re meant to be together, of course.

From the moment Hallie Baker’s eyes met mine across a New York City bar, she’s owned me. We didn’t exchange full names, told each other it was just one night, and I left the next morning with a chip in my heart.
But when Hallie shows up in my tiny town a few weeks later as my new neighbor and potential nanny for my eight-year-old daughter, we’re both completely caught off guard. And when she reveals she’s pregnant with my baby? I know without a doubt, she’s meant to be mine.
Hallie’s heart is guarded by thick walls, but I’m ready to dismantle them, brick by brick, and prove to her that love is worth risking everything for, and that fate is twining us together for a reason.

The Last Thing is a low angst, surprise pregnancy rom-com featuring a playful, spunky nanny, a slightly grumpy single dad, an upbeat and precocious eight-year-old, laugh-out-loud banter, ridiculous nicknames, heartwarming moments, plenty of spice, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

This is book 4 of the Baker Girls series. Though characters crossover and stories loosely interconnect, all books can be read as complete standalones.
