My Red, White, & Blue Christmas

Not everyone's destined to live happily ever after, right? What if averagely ever after is your goal?

Less hoping means less heartbreak, Brooke!

Then I meet Mac and Daisy.

Single dad Mac needs a nanny for his daughter Daisy until school starts. I need a second job before my promotion kicks in. Since our arrangement is only for one month, I am positive I won't get attached. Medium positive. Okay, I'm negative.

This is a terrible idea.

Because I can't give Mac and Daisy what they need, and I won't risk breaking their hearts, but his green eyes and her crooked pigtails have me dreaming about forever. And who can resist a dad buying pink ballerina tights after a day spent in a hard hat?

The thing is Mac is a fixer, and I need to repair my own life. Better yet, I don't want to feel broken. So it's a good thing the worst has already happened to me. Nothing will hurt more now. Water can't get wetter....
