is a great "single parents dating" romance with a lot of angst than one expects in a novel that is at times funny and at times dramatic, with multi-layered characters that you'll get to know very well. Tyler Fitzpatrick is a single father with a daughter to raise... and a lot of shameful secrets to keep. When he met Annie Barnes at his daughter's school, it was like a perfect match... of epically opposite proportions. She's impoverished and has a son, he's rich and has a daughter. She's a high school dropout housecleaner whose BF ran away; he's a summa cum laude lawyer who had a beautiful wife who died in a car accident. Tyler concedes there is a gulf between them, but they can definitely help each other out... Tyler needs a housekeeper and babysitter... And Annie is the perfect candidate. They also agreed to a Parent Pact... to become role models for each other's child while they search for their one true love. Annie knew Tyler is good for her, but she didn't believe Tyler would stick around, and she wanted a loving husband, not just hot sex and mutual obligations. Can Tyler convince her that they really are good together?Annie has a bit of inferiority complex, and Tyler... has shameful secrets about his relations with his dead wife which I will not spoil here. Let's just say it will take a lot of "dancing" and push-pull to get this couple to get together, and the journey is all the fun.
