Publisher's summary

As Boston's most eligible nanny, I'm nurturing, trustworthy, and professional. Until my one-night stand turns out to be my new boss.

Hawks defenseman James Ryan is Boston's most eligible single-dad. He's solemn, gorgeous, and an incredible father. But I'm drawn to him for other reasons.

James' eyes reflect the same grief and hurt I'm drowning in. His twins struggle with the same pain that once destroyed me. Living with the Ryan family and caring for James' twins are both a salve and a curse.

Soon, what made us click one summer night over whiskey is wreaking havoc on our commitment to remain professional. Our friendship blossoms into something more. Something searching, healing, and unbelievably complicated.

Falling in love with Milly and Mason Ryan is easy. Falling in love with their father is something I never saw coming.

If I give my heart to James, will he put it back together? Or will I end up more shattered than I already am?

Note: The Defender is a deeply emotional single-dad romance, with sensitive subject matter.

All the feels

This book deals with some very serious subjects and while it wasn’t my favorite of the series it was still good. Read the triggers before reading.

The Defender

I enjoyed this book very much. The emotional aspects of this story was so different than those in the previous books in this series. She dealt with the emotional turmoil the characters had realistically. I also loved how she pulled in the support of the other team members and family.

Emotional Story!

I knew James Ryan's book was going to be an emotional one but I never guessed that Bella would bring on the feels as well.

This couple was meant to be together. Their worlds just blended and they needed each other to heal in all the right ways. Great read!

Really enjoyed

Lots of emotional ups and downs. Made the story have more depth. Knee James’ story would be an emotional one.
