Book Description
Elara Voss is running — from a controlling ex-fiancé who dismantled her piece by piece, from a life where the bedroom door locked from the outside. She answers a nanny ad in a small Oregon town and finds a lakeside mansion, a reclusive tech billionaire who speaks in three-word sentences, and a five-year-old girl with a one-eyed stuffed rabbit who decides, within thirty seconds, that Elara is 'the one.' As cookies are baked, Ferris wheels are ridden, and a locked room full of a dead wife's paintings is finally opened, the ice around Callan Mercer's heart begins to crack. But when Elara's past catches up — charming, patient, and determined to reclaim what he considers his — she must choose between running again and standing still for the first time in her life. A story about the families we build from the wreckage of the ones we lost, told through flour fights, midnight piano, and a child who knows that sometimes the bravest thing a rabbit can do is love someone new.
