Fortunately, the kids’ loving, gorgeous nanny, Dani Cooper, is by his side every step of the way as he learns the ropes. And as Liam falls hopelessly in love with his children, he might just be falling in love with their nanny, too...

To my editor, Elizabeth Mazer,

who kindly, tactfully and with humor embraces

books. I have so, so enjoyed our collaborations

and would give much for it to go on and on.
