Juggling the roles of a single dad and starting pitcher for Chicago’s MLB team has me feeling stretched too thin. Despite needing help in raising my son, I’ve been resistant to accept it. The revolving door of previous nannies, none lasting more than a few weeks, has been a testament to my reluctance. Now, my coach is insisting on hiring the one person I can’t dismiss—his daughter.
Miller Montgomery is the last woman I should be drawn to. Too wild, too young, and too unattached. Her stay in Chicago is brief, and I initially anticipated counting down the days until her departure. However, as summer progresses, thoughts of forever start to overshadow the notion of a temporary goodbye.

Recently honored with the most prestigious award in my field as a high-end pastry chef, I am determined to prove my worth. Yet, with the newfound title comes added pressure, and I find myself unable to create a fresh and inspiring dessert.
With just two months to regain my creative spark, instead of focusing on the kitchen, I let my dad persuade me to use my time off as a nanny for his star player’s child.
Kai Rhodes seems to have forgotten how to enjoy life, and I’m eager to remind him. However, as he and his son become like family, I’m compelled to remind us both that my stay in Chicago concludes with the end of summer.
After all, I’ve always been a runner, and the last thing I want is to be ensnared.”
