The Au Pair Affair

Dee’s heartwarming tale enchants with a passionate love match, charming family bonding, and sweet characters. Film producer Dan Krefman and star actress Crissi Jondalar are amicably divorcing, and they only want the best nanny to shuttle their children between their houses. Hunky Louis Guzman has few qualifications, but he has a great rapport with the kids—and a smoldering mutual attraction with closeted Dan. As Louis and Dan play a cat-and-mouse game, Louis, who grew up in foster homes, relishes his new job and the enjoyable Krefman/Jondalar family dynamics. Long-resisted temptation escalates to scorching kisses, satisfying sex, and soul-baring talks in which Louis reveals a secret that could ruin everything. Sizzling yet tenderly romantic sex scenes balance well with the sweet family moments, and all three adults get turns in the spotlight, making a perfect feel-good read with a tearjerker ending. (June)
