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's 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's 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?

 

Gut wrenchingly raw! We all knew James’ story was going to be an emotional one, but add in Bella and all gloves are off. These characters know pain. They live reality every day. Watching them heal is extremely moving. Gina Azzi just delivered her most tortured Hawk yet in THE DEFENDER, and I adored every single minute of him. I always leave a book in this series looking so forward to seeing them again in the next one!

James is such an awesome guy. He has loved and lost and though tortured, he has done the job he had to of picking up the pieces for his kids. Meeting Bella soothes his soul, and falling for her just might break him.

Isabella is a sweetheart. She’s suffered unimaginable loss and torment in her life and yet she smiles through the pain. She is anguished by her past, but she forces herself to put one foot in front of the other and move forward.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who loves a hockey romance filled with a close knit team of friends that shows the reality of life’s ups and downs in every single book and deals with them on that road to forever.
