Excerpt
“So, um…what are you doing here, Chloe?” He knew that Aunt Mabel had scheduled an interview with the lone candidate who’d applied for the nanny position, but seriously? That lone candidate was Chloe Richardson?
Chloe’s big brown eyes went wide. “You remember me?”
“Of course I remember you, Blondie,” he said, using the nickname all the kids at church camp had called her back in the day.
“Oh.” A flicker of hurt and confusion flashed across her face. “I thought…”
She seemed to think he’d forgotten all about her, and Steve knew why. His seventeen-year-old self had been a real coward. He never should have kissed her in the first place, and after he had, he should have had enough courage to call her and tell her why things could never work out between them instead of disappearing without a trace.
But what was done was done. There was no changing it now.
Aiden finished feeding, and Steve stood and patted him on the back. “So, did Aunt Mabel ask you to come over to talk about the nanny job?”
Chloe looked away. “We were talking about it, yes…”
“But you didn’t know you’d be working for me, did you?”
She looked up at him and shook her head, her dirty-blond bangs falling into her dark eyes and making Steve’s breath catch in his throat. Still so beautiful. “I didn’t even know you were back on Cape Cod.”
