Between his work at Citadel Security and running Arcane Brew, single dad Linc has little room for anything beyond his four-year-old daughter, Gracie.
Darcy arrives as the nanny, and the young woman soon becomes the person Gracie trusts and the employee Linc cannot keep at a safe distance.
He refuses to mix business with desire, but the age-gap pull toward his forbidden nanny only deepens, while Darcy, long used to temporary homes, begins to feel that Linc and Gracie could be hers.
When danger from his security work takes Gracie and Darcy, Linc sets out to search the city without restraint until he can bring them home.
Held with the child, Darcy clings to the belief that he will not stop, and that she will be more than the nanny only if he finds them in time.
