Macie Call never expected her new nanny position at the remote Martin Estates in England to feel more like a test of survival than a fresh start. Determined to prove she can stand her own, she arrives ready for the challenge. But from the moment she sets foot on the sprawling property, things begin to unravel. Her distant employer questions her competence, one of the children seems intent on driving her out, and Daniel, the stony stable manager, makes it clear she’s more burden than help.
Daniel has no time for distractions. Since the sudden death of Thomas Martin, a man who had been like family, keeping the estate’s renowned horse program running has been an uphill battle he’s barely winning. The last thing he needs is a naïve American nanny interfering and stirring up emotions he’d rather avoid.
When a disturbing theft shatters the estate’s fragile calm, Macie finds herself entangled in a web of secrets. As Daniel and Macie reluctantly join forces to uncover the truth, it becomes clear the threat reaches deeper than either of them imagined. And the closer they get to exposing it, the more it threatens to tear apart the estate and the fragile bond forming between them.
