Product Information

I let out an exaggerated breath that portrays how I feel about the possibility of taking on a nanny job. “Yeah.” My brain constantly feels like it’s rattling in my head, all while my heart doesn’t quite know what to make of this whole situation. Uh-oh.” Emilia grabs the wet wipes from the table and pulls out a few. After taking care of his nose and face, she starts on the table.

Emilia mimics his motion, even though she only holds up three fingers, her thumb and pinky held down in her palm. “You want some water?” I’m putting away the supplies when Jace walks in with Tanner in his arms. “Why are you still out here?” He looks around and takes a whiff. “You didn’t need to clean this mess, Emilia. I thought you’d jump in the shower and get cleaned up too. I was going to take care of it.” Before either one of us can say a word, a woman steps into the room, closing the curtain and glass sliding door behind her, sheltering us from the bustle of the emergency room. “Hey, guys. I’m Dr. Shelton.” She looks down at her chart. “And you’re here because of Tanner? Tell me what’s going on.” Then we stare at each other like we just survived a zombie apocalypse and can’t believe we’re still alive.She lifts her arms to cross them over her chest but not before I notice her hard nipples through the thin material. I realized on day one that Tanner does talk, a lot actually, but it’s mostly random babbling that no one but he understands. In a word, he’s incredible. When Jace told me what had happened to Tanner, I truly thought I’d have to deal with a distraught, confused, and very quiet young boy that I’d need to coax and calm and coddle.

Jace Atwood is amazing. I loved how he was this gorgeous, sexy, charming man who was so confident in himself but give him a toddler and he knew he needed help. It made him real, because he threw himself into the role so hard, but knew he needed to learn from Millie along the way. He was vulnerable with her about not only becoming a father but other things in his life and the more he reveals about himself, the deeper I fell in love with him alongside Millie. I won’t say he doesn’t have his flaws, but as a professional athlete he’s competitive and a sore loser, but he more than makes up for it when he realises he’s in the wrong. Over time, Jace and Amelia develop feelings for each other, and turn each other’s worlds upside down. They have love, mutual support and a strong connection with some hot chemistry. There is so much more to this, but I don’t want to spoil this wonderful story for the readers. But I DO implore you to read it! A breath rushes out of him, making me hold my own for a moment. “I think his cough has gotten worse. He woke up and started crying. I gave him some water, but it doesn’t seem to help. And now he sounds weird, kind of like a seal. I know that sounds stupid, but I don’t know how else to describe it.” I’ve truly turned into a caveman overnight with limited vocabulary. Apparently, I do that a lot when I’m around her.Emilia shakes her head. “No, it’s pretty straightforward, and the signs are easy to learn. Since you’re using it with a toddler, you won’t communicate in full sentences. The way you sign is similar to the way they talk.” Ah yes, poor guy.” Doctor Shelton makes a note on her chart before placing it on the counter and washing her hands. “Tell me about his symptoms. When did it start? Have you given him any medicine yet?” Since Lila’s medical history is protected under law, and Bette confirmed complications with pneumonia, that’s my best guess as to what happened because Lila was gone the next day. I can’t finish the sentence, not with Tanner right there. I’m not sure how much he understands, but talking about his mom’s death with him right there feels wrong.

Fresh Meet: A Single Dad Sports Romance (Kings Of The Water)

I sit up in bed and straighten my tank top as if he could actually see me. Then I mentally berate myself. I don’t need that added stress in my life. Then I grab a pair of gloves, along with some cleaner and a sponge—sadly no face mask—and make my way over to the couch. Fans call me the king of the water. I'm focused, driven, and most importantly, I win. Life as a professional swimmer comes with sacrifices, but they’ve never worried me. I’m used to life with little room for anything but training, eating, and sleeping. Nothing more, nothing less. When a son I knew nothing about lands on my doorstep—and a crazy but very beautiful nanny shortly after—my life is turned upside down. Allowing any change into my life could put my goals and dreams in jeopardy, and I’ve worked too hard and too long for them. When I’m tempted to look beyond lap times and medals to bedtime stories and the possibility of love, I face one of the hardest questions of my is it worth the risk? Fresh Meet is a fun, sweet, and sexy sports romance and the second book in The Kings Of The Water series. All books in this series can be read as standalones. Yes. I’m here to see Tanner Atwood.” It’s taking every last ounce of self-control to keep my voice steady.It’s a quiet evening otherwise, and George, the host and long-time fan of my career, waits with me for the valet to get my car. “How’s training going?” Does Daddy seem mad?” Her face contorts, the friendly expression from a few minutes ago long gone, furrowed eyebrows and an upturned mouth in its place. But when she bends down to get on Tanner’s eye level, the look on her face has softened. Tanner shoots a surprised look at Jace and then me before he closes his eyes and starts crying. Loud wails echo through the room while sobs ricochet through his body. He’s unable to keep his snot under control, wiping it everywhere his tiny hands can reach. Everything seems to be going swimmingly in their lives, until Jace’s final goal starts to look doubtful and Millie’s offered her own dream job. Can they work through these obstacles together, and come out the other side a proper family, or will it break them apart? He looks at me like he’s never seen me before. Or maybe he’s wondering why he’s my friend. He rubs his hand over his face like I just did something inexcusable, and I have no clue why.

The valet stops at the curb with my SUV, and I wave at my friend as I make my way to the driver’s side. “I’ll make sure to remember that. Tell that lovely wife of yours I said hi.” Die darauffolgende Handlung konnte mich ebenfalls weiter in den Bann ziehen und ich habe das Buch innerhalb kurzer Zeit verschlungen. Ich glaube, dass ich mich lange nicht mehr so gefreut habe, ein Buch in die Hand zu nehmen und weiterzulesen. Did you see that?” Emilia smiles at Tanner before looking at me. “He signs water like if he’d say ‘water’ at this age, or maybe ‘want water.’ The most important thing is that you continue to talk normally with him, in full sentences and sign along the few words you know.” Jace’s life gets turned upside down when he receives a letter from a past fling. She has passed away and left him with custody of their son, Tanner. Jace is trying to balance his intense training schedule with raising his son. Jace needs help. He needs a nanny. Enter Millie. Millie has recently lost her job on a kid’s show. While waiting for a chance to audition for another popular kid’s show, she needs a job. She loves children and newly single dad, Jace, needs a nanny. It's a perfect match.⁠They both laugh—her grandma easy to hear—and I shake my head. Her family might be on the crazy side at times, but they’ve welcomed me with open arms to family dinners and celebrations like I’m one of their own, so I’m not complaining.
