The British men in all of Ms. Bay's book are so ideal - gorgeous, smart, well off, and caring. Gabriel is a single father to a very sweet little girl. She is his entire world so he wants to make sure she is well taken care of when he is at work. Autumn is the younger sister of the fiancee of one of his best friend. Autumn recently graduated from college in the USA and has moved to England for work and to be closer to her sister. Autumn has been warned by her sister to stay away from Gabriel since he is a bit older than she is and is a workaholic. Gabriel has been warn by his best friend to stay away from Autumn for the same reason.Autumn is open to new experience and has a great time taking care of Gabriel's daughter. She's also very attracted to Gabriel but knows she shouldn't start something that would be very short term for both of them. However, she is very curious of where Gabriel goes after he gets home. The door he goes through is locked when he is not in there and it starts to drive Autumn a little crazy wondering what's behind the door.It's weird being Gabriel's nanny and socializing with him since his best friend is her future brother in law. We get to see Gabriel with his 5 best friends and we also get a little update on the other guys! At a dinner party, there is some tension between the two but they try to downplay it even though Autumn's sister notices it and Gabriel's friends also notice it.It takes a little while before Autumn and Gabriel give in to their attraction but once they do, they seem perfect for each other. However, they both know it has be short termed since Autumn will be leaving soon for her full time internship and Gabriel still thinks he shouldn't have a personal life and to just be there for his daughter. When things start to go wrong professionally and presonally for Autumn, she doesn't know how to manage everything. Then Gabriel's wife (they were never officially divorced even though she has been gone 3+ years) show up and at first agrees to a divorce but then wants to start over with Gabriel. Gabriel can't believe the situation and isn't too happy about it. But he is "guilted" into doing what he thought was best for his daugher and he is also afraid that his daughter could be taken from him. Gabriel's wife manipulates Autumn and makes her feel guity. Autumn decides to step back and leave her nanny job after Gabriel has hired her replacement.Gabriel and Autumn are miserable without each other and Gabriel realizes that his hobby is more enjoyable than his work and that he is set financially to take care of his daughter without working at a job he hates. He also realizes what Autumn brings to his life but he also wants her to be happy. Autumn thought she was doing the right thing for Gabriel even though it broke her heart. It takes a little bit of fate for these two to reconnect but once they do, they realize the love that they have will last a lifetime.
