Secret Desire by Cameron Hart

Reed: My whole world turned upside down when I got custody of my 6 year old niece, Kayla. One day I was a wealthy, well-respected college dean, and the next day, I was trying to figure out how to tell a little girl her parents are dead and I’m her new guardian.
I need a nanny, and I need one fast. I don’t want to hire Josephine. She’s too tempting, for one thing. She’s also too bubbly, too innocent, and a little naive. Too bad my niece forms an instant bond with her. I’d be a monster to take away another person from Kayla.
I’ll just have to keep my hands off the nanny. It shouldn’t be too hard. Right?
Josephine: Reed is an adorably grumpy teddy bear. He’s also in way over his head with Kayla. My heart breaks just thinking about the sweet little girl losing her parents. I know what that pain is like, which is why I’m determined to help.
Sure, I can’t cook or clean very well, but I’m good with kids. I know I can help Kayla, and maybe even help Reed, too. I just have to be careful of my heart. It’s already wrapped up in this little family.
One stormy night changes everything. Reed says I’m his, but for how long?
