She's the nanny. He's the boss. Feelings weren't supposed to get involved.
Joshua Braxton has moved back home to Honey Grove with his son after a heart breaking divorce. Determined to hide out at his parent's house to heal his wounds, he's decided that love is the last thing he needs. Too bad his mom, known as the town's busybody, has a different plan in mind. She not only invites Beth, the girl who grew up across the street and declared her love for him as kids, to dinner, but she also suggests that he hire her as his nanny. All of this wouldn't matter if Beth were still the lanky girl next door instead of the beautiful and mysterious woman she’s become.
Beth Johnson is back home in Honey Grove after losing her job and getting dumped by her longtime boyfriend. When she discovers that her mother has been keeping her cancer a secret, Beth can't help but make her stop a permanent stay. Desperate to find a job, she agrees to Mrs. Braxton's proposal that she nanny Josh's son. If only she could forget her past feelings for Josh then this might be the best option for her. Too bad that's easier said then done.
Feelings start to deepen and both begin to realize that perhaps, fate brought them together. But as Beth's feelings grow, she realizes she can't both respect her mother's wishes of keeping her cancer a secret and let Josh into her life like she so desperately wants to. With their past hurt lingering on their minds, both are left to decide if love is worth fighting for or if being together just isn’t in the cards for them.

My Review: 4 StarsThe friend-next-door-all-grown-up is a fun idea and I loved how Josh and Beth came together once again. Josh is now divorced and has custody of his young song. Moving back home with his parents wasn't in his plan, but is necessary for the moment. Beth is also back home, returning to care for her sick and secretive mother. Josh needs a nanny and Beth needs a job. It's perfect, isn't it?Of course not! Enter the give-and-take of a hesitant relationship. I know I often revert to my insecure teenage self when I'm around those who intimidated me as a teen and that feeling was easy for me to relate to, whether or not it was intended to be that way.I loved Beth's instant connection with Josh's son, as that shows her in her element. Secrets can drive a wedge between a couple, as they soon discover, and the challenge to maneuver around promises and hope is tricky, but not impossible. This story was interesting and sweet, even with a manipulative vixen in the wings. I'm curious to see where the rest of the series will lead to.
