The day my wife died leaving me a single father,

I thought the sun would never rise again...

Until Brennan showed up to be my little girl’s nanny.

First things first, I don’t need a damn stranger to help me raise my baby girl,

Let alone a fresh-faced, young woman who still looks like a teenager.

Second, this town already hates me,

The last thing I need is to get tongues wagging.

But hell if she isn’t a walking, talking temptation.

The way her jean shorts cling to her curves,

Accentuating her long, tan legs.

The timid smile that peeks out from her plump lips just begging for mine.

I know I shouldn’t.

But I did anyway.

The moment our lips touched, the way her body molded perfectly to mine,

Something inside I thought had died years ago, came to life.

I should have stopped there but I didn’t.

I claimed her. Made her MINE.

Knowing full well,

I’m not her happily ever after.

Life has a funny way of not letting me forget I don’t deserve a second chance…

Her daddy shows up with a shotgun,

Her ex shows up to win her back,

And the whole nosy town knows I stole her innocence.

She deserves more than this dead-end town,

And my baggage.

She deserves for me to let her go…
