For 12 weeks every year, the Blue Angels land in El Centro, California. The residents treat the pilots like gods. Everyone worships them - everyone, that is, except for me. I hate the way they waltz into my poor town and romance all the residents only to vanish into the sky. But even I can’t afford to say no when I’m offered the chance to be the nanny for sexy, cocky pilot Beckett Daly’s baby girl, Sky. With El Centro’s high unemployment rate, this job is my only hope to feed my family and maybe one day leave this town.

Preston Evans is a legend in and out of the bedroom. He’s six-foot-two, gorgeous, and famous because his celebrity ex snapchatted his huge package. I hate him.
