If Love Had a Manual

Skeptically in Love, Book 2

After a family tragedy leaves Wes Turner as the unexpected guardian of his one-year-old niece, he's drowning in responsibilities he never asked for.

Running his auto shop is hard enough—raising a baby on his own? Impossible. Enter Lena Carter: a no-nonsense nanny with a soft heart and a past she keeps locked away.

From the moment she steps into his home, Lena brings order to the chaos, warmth to the cold walls, and a dangerous temptation Wes can't afford to entertain. She's supposed to be off-limits—his employee, his saving grace. But with every passing day, she becomes something more.

But Lena has rules. She has boundaries. Because falling for her boss? That's a mistake she swore she'd never make. And when the lines between duty and desire blur beyond recognition, she has to ask herself: Is she just the nanny…or something more?
