Close to You by Ava Greene

If it came between love or a job, what would you choose?

Evelyn:
I’m a curvy young woman with a knack for taking care of children. After some time abroad, I decided to come home to the states to be close to my family and my friends. I want to focus on revamping my career as a caretaker but, my sister, Veronica, keeps hounding me about finding a man because she has gotten engaged and thinks I should settle down too.
Veronica told me that her fiancé’s friend needs a sitter for his son, I quickly applied and luckily got accepted. When I meet the handsome father, I have to resist with all my power to keep my hands to myself. Can I do the job without getting more involved? I’m not sure.

Jeremiah:
I am serious about my job as a police officer but I’m even more serious about my son, Christian. Having just gotten full custody two months prior, I’m hoping to find someone that Christian will bond easily with and who will be able to handle it if he acts out. My mother has been a big help, but I feel bad taking up all her free time.
I told my friends that I am looking for a sitter and a woman named Evelyn is mentioned. I never dreamed that when I offered her an interview, she would turn my world upside down. Now, with her around I can’t help but want her. Can I keep my relationship with her professional and let her do her job, or can I make her mine?
