Protective Sheriff's Hired Nanny
(2025)(Book 12 in the Naughty Nanny for Hire series)
A novel by Jess Winters
She swore she was done with him.
Until a second chance came with a badge… and a kid in tow.
Vera Harmon walked away from Sheriff Lyndon Strickland with a shattered heart and a vow never to look back.
But when a threat creeps into quiet Emberwick, she's pulled right back into his world—this time, as the nanny to his wild, lovable nephew.
One cabin.
One job.
One brooding sheriff who still knows exactly how to make her knees weak.
Lyndon thought he could bury the past behind duty and discipline.
But Vera’s fire, her fierce independence, and the way she loves Tanjiro with her whole heart?
It wrecks his walls and makes him question everything—especially the lies they both told themselves.
As secrets surface and danger closes in, passion sparks hotter than ever.
But can two people with so much history—and even more pain—find their way back to the love they lost?
Protective Sheriff’s Hired Nanny is a steamy, emotional second-chance romance filled with small-town suspense, sizzling chemistry, and the kind of love that refuses to die quietly.
