Yes, I'm a single dad who needs a nanny for the summer.
But hire the stranded runaway bride who shows up on my doorstep in a wedding gown with no references, no skills, and no experience?
No one is that desperate.
Except within twenty-four hours, down-on-her-luck Veronica Sutton manages to charm my kids, my family, and half the population of Cherry Tree Harbor into believing she's perfect for the job.
And for me.
It's not that I can't see the appeal-those baby blue eyes? The endless legs? That mouth made for trouble? But I've got enough on my plate, raising two kids on my own and keeping the family business alive. I don't have the time or the inclination to fall for an outspoken city girl.
So I should have kept my hands to myself.
Holding her in my arms was a big mistake. Even worse? Spending the night together. She ignites a possessive fire in me that I'm finding hard to snuff out.
But the most unforgivable? Growing attached to the sound of her laugh, the scent of her skin, and the way her body wraps around mine in the dark.
At the end of the summer, she'll be gone.
And if I'm not careful, she might run away with my heart.

Runaway Love is book one in Melanie's newest series Cherry Tree Harbor. This book features grumpy single dad Austin. When Austin's sister, who usually watches his 7 year old twins, gets the opportunity of a lifetime, he is left without a nanny for the summer. Enter Veronica. Veronica is literally the runaway bride. After leaving her cheating fiance at the altar, she must come up with a plan quick for a job and place to live. By a chance meeting, she is introduced to Austin but with no experience, he is less than impressed. As Roni struggles to figure out what happens next, Austin takes pity on her and ends-up offering her the job. Everyone falls in love with Veronica except Austin but that is just because he is secretly lusting after her. When the kids go to visit their mom, all bets are off when Austin and Veronica give into their attraction. When summer is over and it's time for Roni to move on, can Austin let her go? Runaway Love is a grumpy-sunshine story. Austin was your typical grumpy, brody, chip on your shoulder single father trying to do his best raising his children, working with his father, when he'd rather be doing his own thing, and protector of all as the oldest sibling. It's all he has known. Veronica was a happy go-lucky, former Rockette, who everyone falls in love with. Austin's dad, brother, sister, and kids all adore her. Runaway Love was a wonderful book full of romance and banter. Veronica and Austin couldn't keep their hands off each other. Their story was fun to read and I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series. Melanie definitely has a hit with this one!
