Fresh Meet: A Single Dad Sports Romance (Kings Of The Water Book 2)

Product Information

But Tanner has been so happy, so . . . adaptable. Patricia mentioned he was in daycare, and it makes me think he started at a young age. Not surprising if his mom was a single mom with no other relatives around to help. He’s simply accepted that I’m his nanny, and that Jace is his daddy. Amazing.

I never even thought much about having kids. Always thought I’d get to that point when the time was right and after I achieved my goal of being the most decorated Olympic swimmer.

With all candidates, we agreed on her coming in after about fifteen minutes of the interview. If the applicant was still around, it would allow us to gauge Tanner’s reaction to the possible nanny prospect. I don’t want to hire anyone my son doesn’t like. Seems counterproductive to me. He doesn’t look away, just keeps studying my face as I have a heated debate inside my head. Thank goodness no one can see what’s going on behind my mop of hair. Having just lost her job as a children’s performer on popular kids tv show, Emilia (Millie) applies for the job. She has always loved working with children, so much so she turns up to her interview in her costume from the programme. When she meets Jace, he doesn’t really know what to make of her, but when he meets Tanner, his whole impression of her changes and he hires her on the spot.

Tanner and I are cuddled up on the couch reading books when the alarm system beeps, indicating that one of the doors was opened. Less than two seconds later, the front door shuts and footsteps echo across the wooden floor, coming closer to the living room. I turn my head away from Tanner as much as I can and clear my throat. “It started as a regular cold. Stuffy nose, normal cough. He had a bit of a temperature, around one oh one, and I gave him some Motrin before bedtime around six.”She watches me, her eyes slowly roaming over me from head to toe. Inspecting me. Appraising me. For what, I have no clue. Ugh.” I close my laptop and grab my gummy bears from the nightstand. “Does she have any more info?” But seeing Emilia and Tanner smile at each other as if this is the best day of their lives, does something to me.

Strangely enough, the moment was even more special because Emilia witnessed it, but I’m not ready to analyze that fact or the shitstorm that could come from exploring anything Emilia.

Fresh Meet is the second book in The Kings Of The Water series. All books in this series can be read as standalones. Interesting. She didn’t stop by to ensure she’d meet any of the other candidates. Conveniently, she’s avoiding my gaze, making me wonder if there’s something she didn’t tell me. Emilia impresses me by flinching for only a moment before she goes straight to cover up her emotions. But I can still see it. In her green eyes. The spark is gone, an emptiness lingering in its place. I did this, and she’s put up her guard.
