Elodie Cole has always done the right thing. So why does her life feel like it’s falling apart?
Losing her job and her home in a matter of hours forces her to face a terrifying truth: being “nice” hasn’t protected her from anything. When she lands a temporary nanny job with Atlanta’s pro rugby captain, she vows to finally start choosing herself.
Ansel Miles is used to pressure.
As a single dad and team captain, he’s mastered the art of sacrifice. But when his carefully balanced life teeters on the edge, Elodie’s arrival feels like more than help – it feels like hope. For his daughter. For himself. For something he stopped believing in: a future built on joy instead of duty.
As the summer unfolds, their connection deepens from tentative trust to something that feels like home. But when a painful piece of Ansel’s past storms back in, threatening custody and exposing their relationship to the world, they’re forced to ask the hardest question of all: Is risking their hearts worth the try?
