Sloan is an African American woman with biracial daughters. As it happens, he falls for the girls and Sloan pretty much at first sight so the whole “I’ll give them six months” thing gets tossed almost immediately. For his part, Rafe feels bad that Sloan was left in the lurch and thinks the least he can do, if he likes her and the girls, is to stay for a few months so that Sloan can have some time to find a long term replacement. Rafe comes highly recommended so Sloan decides to meet him. He’s beginning to want a life for himself and he’s found nannying isn’t conducive to romance. He’s thinking about what’s next and whether being a live-in nanny is right for him or whether he needs to do some other kind of child care work in the longer term. The family he had been working for decided to move to Australia and he decided not to go with them. (Even though she is in a bind she is still careful to find someone skilled, safe and reliable because she’s not a monster.)Īs it happens, Rafe Whitcomb, 6’5″, red-haired, bearded, muscular and heavily tattooed, with a heart made of marshmallow, is between jobs. Sloan is in a bind and puts out feelers for a replacement. Sloan’s daughters are Avery and Addison and they’re just about to start school when the nanny up and quits in a very irresponsible and not okay kind of way. Sloan Copeland is a divorced mother of twin girls who has recently moved to LA from Seattle. In these end times, it turned out to be just what I needed.ĭr. It is very low conflict Rafe is a good guy who is careful about consent, loves kids, is a good cook, doesn’t deal in toxic masculinity at all and doesn’t get the least bit bent out of shape about the idea that the woman he loves is wealthier and more successful than he is (all while also not being a sponge). You’ve described the book, unapologetically, as “fluffy af” and it is. (For the visually impaired, it says ‘”Gimme!” – People you know on Twitter’).
