Blindside Beauty

Abby Dawson has one firm rule after her ex-fiancé cheated on her: no more football players. Then she drives her car into the back of Nick Silva's, and Nick turns out to be a quarterback.

The collision is only the first tangle. Soon after, Nick's babysitter is locked out of his house while his four-year-old daughter is alone inside. Abby climbs in through a window to reach the child. Nick is impressed enough by her quick thinking to offer her a job as the girl's nanny.

Taking it means moving in with Nick, a single father who is grieving and struggling to hold his household together. Abby is an accident-prone bookworm, and Nick is guarded. Sharing a home wears down the limits she set for herself, and her rule about athletes starts to look like a battle she is losing.

This is a small-town contemporary romance built on forced proximity, with a nanny and her employer under one roof. It is the final book in the Varsity Dads series. Expect a mix of awkward comedy and Nick's grief, with the romance growing out of daily life in a shared house.
