She's perfect. Not just because she's unfazed by the World's Grumpiest Baby, but because she's only in town temporarily. No strings. No risk. All I have to do is keep repeating: Don't f--k the nanny.

I've got to prove to her and my new charge that I'm dad material.

Online, no one can see her, so she can be whoever she wants to be, do whatever she wants to do… love whoever she wants to love. And she fell hard for the sexy thirst trap behind the devil mask. He's smart, sensual, and flirtatious, but also sweet, funny, and he makes her feel seen for the first time ever. But… he's never actually seen her. And it's better that way; someone as beautiful as him would never want to be with someone like her. Right?

I should walk away. I've got practice in one hour and I'm not going to let Perfect Pepper distract me.
