Ty’s parents seem to have their shit together, and his little sisters are old enough that he doesn’t have to constantly worry about them anymore. He could even enroll in some college classes if he could find an overnight job that won’t kill him. One where he might be able to study occasionally, or catch a nap. When he sees the advertisement for a night nanny, it sounds perfect. After all, he’s got a soft spot for babies, and raised his sisters himself.
If he’s having some seriously sinful thoughts about Isabel’s handsome, melancholy father-well. His thing for older men is nothing new, and he can keep himself under control for the half-hour their paths cross in the morning and evening.
Jonathan is overwhelmed by his wife leaving abruptly–though, to be honest, he’d known it was over for years–by the new responsibilities he’s just been handed at his law firm, and by the baby daughter he adopted three months ago, Isabel. The baby his now-vanished wife had been begging for. He was lucky to get a place for Isabel in the best infant care program in the city, but it closes at 5 p.m. Before Isabel, Jonathan had never held a baby or changed a diaper. He needs help day and night.
When Ty answers his advertisement, and he looks past the tattoos and piercings at the way Ty expertly soothes the baby, Jonathan hires him on the spot. The only problem in the weeks that follow is how much Jonathan begins to look forward to Ty’s arrival every night, and not just because he’s ready to hand over the baby and get some sleep. There’s something that fascinates him about the kid who steps out of the darkness late each night with a crooked smile.
Then, Isabel’s daycare temporarily closes unexpectedly. A desperate Jonathan asks Ty if he can work more hours, and Ty says he can–if he can crash in the guest room, too.

What a cute read!
It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for a single dad, but a newly single, new dad and a hot nanny? Absolutely! Let’s discuss…
First, we have Johnathan. He’s the new single dad with a brand new baby that he and his estranged wife were adopting just before she up and left him. They hadn’t had a good marriage in a while and I don’t think either was to blame for that. I don’t want to give anything away about that because it came as a bit of a surprise, so I won’t spoil, but it’s easier to understand her once it all comes together.
Because of her sudden departure, busy attorney Johnathan needs a nanny now more than ever. He doesn’t know if he can handle this dad thing, as his screaming baby and no prospect for a nanny is much harder than he thought it would be.
Enter Ty….
I loved everything about Ty. He’s so selfless and charming. I loved his relationship with his sisters and the caretaker role he played in their lives, their entire lives. He was born to take care of people, literally, he had been doing it his whole life. Maybe not by choice growing up, but it was his calling, for sure.
I loved how he was with Johnathan’s Isabel.
Being as different as night and day, I wasn’t surprised to find Ty and Johnathan attracted to each other and I could see them together just as easily as I could if I was watching the reality show that I wanna wish them real to be apart of. It was inevitable.
I want to gush and I want to tell you every cute thing about this story but I’ll leave it for now and say that if you like any trope with dads, nannies and maybe a little bit of drama… you’ll adore this.
I would’ve liked to have seen Ty’s parents go to prison or just….get smacked with reality and a little of the karmic justice they deserve and I wasn’t so keen on Shay at first, so I’m glad Ty was protective there. He said everything that I was thinking at the moment and I loved that too!
Very cute story! I’d love to read more of these three and their now big extended family!
