ABOUT THE BOOK:Zane has a theory in life: Beautiful women are more trouble than they're worth. So when he's coerced into spending the summer with the very beautiful Carly as his nanny, he expects the worst. But she changes his opinion, one good deed at a time. Until he gets a little too close and finds out his beauty queen is nothing more than a liar and a thief. Theory proven.
But the pretty liar has two little girls who've stolen Zane's heart. He's going to have to wade in and untangle the mess Carly's made of her life for her daughters. Can Zane ignore the theory Carly's proven, forgive her, and accept that beauty is sometimes more than skin deep?

EXCERPT:
She should let go of him. But to let someone else carry the weight of her world, even if just for a moment, seduced her. A sigh escaped and she tightened her hold.
"Look, your Daddy is hugging Mommy." Brie chirped, breaking the trance.
"Maybe they're going to kiss." Daniel belly laughed at his own joke.
It was enough to make Carly back up. She pushed away and wiped her cheeks where a few disobedient tears had trailed down.
Zane's hands moved to her shoulders. "Better?"
She nodded, still unsure of her voice.
"How long was she missing?"
"Not long. Maybe five minutes."
He started rubbing her arms. "You're still shaking."
At some point this story would be amusing, so Carly tilted her lips upward. "But then she screamed for the next hour because she wasn't going to get any candy."
Pressing his lips to her forehead, he murmured, "You're a saint."
