He’s all Southern charm and a walking storm. I’m the nanny next door who never meant to fall for him. Caleb Mercer just landed in Seaview Harbor with a billion-dollar past and the weight of the world on his shoulders. I’m a chaos-tamer, child-wrangler, and fiercely loyal to this little coastal town. Then the hurricane hit—and we ended up trapped under the same roof. What started as survival turned into late-night laughter and lingering glances. We shared secrets. Grew closer. He’s guarded, grieving, and terrified of letting anyone in. I’ve been burned before, and trusting again doesn’t come easy. But when we’re together? It feels like something we both forgot we needed. When he looks at me, it feels like coming home. And I fall hard. Now friends and foes alike are trying to bulldoze our town into condos and parking lots. Even someone from my past is threatening the one community project that brought us together. Just when I thought we might finally have a shot at forever, another storm is rolling in. But not every storm can be outrun. And this one might take him from me for good.
