Arianna Schrader has a terrible secret. She takes a job as nanny to be close to the child that she had to give up for adoption to her sister. Now her sister, who had sworn her to secrecy, is dead and her brother-in-law knows nothing about Arianna’s true relationship with his one-year-old son.

Jack DeMoise, a ranch veterinarian, doesn’t know what to make of his sister-in-law. The artist does not fit into his neat, ordered world … but she is good with Sammy. She seems to understand Jack’s autistic son.

When Arianna begins to fall in love with Jack, she knows he deserves to know the truth. Yet her promise to her sister binds her to silence.

But secrets in a relationship are never a good thing.

Jack, whose rocky marriage with her sister left deep wounds, doesn’t know whether to trust his feelings for Arianna.

I found myself pulling for these wounded characters and for a toddler who desperately needs them both. This book was a page turner for me.

A tender story that tugged at my heart. Recommend.
