Martha “Mouse” Cameron has always felt she comes by her nickname honestly; she is quiet, shy, mousey in every way. But as soon as she meets Henry, she feels anything but mousey. Henry is the wealthy widower father of the boy she’s going to nanny for the summer in the heart of New York City, and sparks fly immediately as she feels things she’s never felt before. As her feelings for Leo, the little boy, grow, so too do her feelings for Henry, his father. Is it possible that Henry has feelings for her, too?

Being a live in nanny puts her much closer to Henry than she’s comfortable being, and it does seem like he’s responding to her, too. But Henry has a girlfriend, and Mouse has an ex. And what would be best for Leo? None of these questions really seems to matter, though, when Mouse is getting to know Henry, and vice versa, better and better every day, when every glance and touch makes her tingle.

How is she supposed to get through the summer and keep things under control, when she knows she’s falling in love with her young charge’s handsome father?

Book two of the New York Nanny series finds Mouse preparing for graduation from NYU as she, Henry and Leo prepare for a wedding, and becoming a family at last. A pregnancy, and kindergarten for Leo, and many changes are on the horizon for the Gardeners. Following a romantic honeymoon in Bora Bora, however, they’re hit with devastating news that rocks their fledgling family to its foundations, and threatens its very existence. A partially closed door and a conversation overheard at an inopportune moment cause a cataclysm of events that end in what could be tragedy for poor Leo and his frantic parents. Mouse and Henry find out at all the love and romance in the world can’t solve everything, and Leo finds out how important it is to have real life friends that he can count on in a pinch.

This story sees a cameo from the Santangelos of the Flower Series, who are the upstairs neighbors of the Gardeners, so come along for the ride, which will be both fraught and fun. Follow the Gardeners through sexy adventures and scary times adjusting to their new lives in Manhattan, as they go through growing pains and learn to be a new family unit.
