She's the runaway nanny hiding from a man who won't let her go.He's the grumpy lighthouse keeper who hasn't let anyone past his front porch in five years.And the little girl who adores her is about to make walking away impossible.Marcus Reid is six-foot-something of storm-scarred, sleep-deprived, don't-ask-twice silence. He keeps the light burning at the edge of the world, raises his six-year-old daughter alone, and hasn't smiled at a stranger since his wife packed the car and drove south without looking back. He answers his own front door with a fireplace poker in one hand, and the last nanny the agency sent lasted three weeks before the isolation ran her out of town.Sophie Chen is the best thing that ever broke into his house by accident.

He hires her anyway. He tells himself it's temporary.It is not temporary.Then this silent, storm-scarred man starts leaving the porch light on until she gets home. Teaches her to log bulb changes in a battered old ledger chained to the railing just so she'll stay and listen a little longer. Peels forty pounds of apples at his best friend's kitchen counter without one word of complaint, so long as Sophie is peeling next to him.

"That should have mattered more than it did."She should walk away. She has never once been good at walking away from this house.There's just one more problem.The man Sophie ran from finally figured out exactly which harbor she's been hiding in.
