Seven years ago I made a decision that would change my life forever... I've never told a soul. Now I'm worried my past could ruin my future.

As a surgeon and single father, my life is chaotic. I barely have time to find a new babysitter or a new tenant for my income property, let alone think about dating.

Sophie Windell-Miller seems like the answer to all of my problems... renting out my income property and babysitting my daughter.

But now Sophie brings a whole new set of complications. I can't stop thinking about how gorgeous she is, and how her laughter fills the house with joy. Not to mention our daughters adore each other.

So, what's the complicated part? Well, she's still grieving the loss of her husband, and I work with her dad.

Then there's the secret I've held for seven years. If I tell her, will I lose everything she's brought into my life? Or worse, will I hurt the woman I'm coming to love?
