Stay Here with Me

Working as the nanny for my best friend’s brother was supposed to be simple.
Until the single dad I can’t have starts looking at me like I'm everything he wants.

Nora Miller has known her best friend’s brother for long enough to know that he’s completely out of her league. He’s older, established, and still carrying the quiet heartbreak of losing his wife two years ago. But when Theo’s nanny quits without warning, his sister insists that hiring Nora is the perfect solution.

Nora needs the job. Theo needs someone he can trust with his three-year-old daughter. Pretending she’s not wildly attracted to the man she works for shouldn’t be that hard.

Theo Archibald has been doing his best to rebuild the life he lost, but no matter how many dates he goes on, nothing ever feels right—something, he tells himself, that has nothing to do with his daughter’s new nanny.

But with Nora filling his home with laughter and bringing warmth back into spaces that became hollow, it’s getting harder to pretend he doesn’t notice her. And somewhere between late-night talks and stolen glances, the dynamics begin to blur and he realizes he’s thinking about her in ways he shouldn’t be.

She’s younger. His sister’s best friend. His employee.

But when she’s in his arms and the ache in his chest finally quiets, it’s hard to care about the rules he swore he wouldn’t break.

And when the woman who’s become his daughter’s favorite person starts to feel like the home he never thought he’d find again, he has to decide if love is worth the risk… or if some lines should never be crossed.

STAY HERE WITH ME is a slow-burn, forbidden single dad romance about second chances, found family, and falling for the one person you were never supposed to want.
