Publisher's Summary

A retired SEAL is about to face his toughest assignment yet. As a nanny...

Fixer. Bodyguard. Advocate. Brann Calder is expected to play all these roles and more as a member of Torus Intercession, a security firm guaranteed to right what’s wrong. In the military, catastrophe was his specialty. Five months out of the service, Brann is still finding his way, so a new assignment might be just what he needs. Unless it includes two things sure to make a seasoned, battle-trained veteran nervous: life in a small town, and playing caregiver to two little girls.

Emery Dodd is drowning in the responsibility of single fatherhood. He’s picked up the pieces after losing his wife and is ready to move on now, hopeful that his engagement to a local patriarch’s daughter will not only enrich his community but will grant his daughters some stability, too.

The only thing standing in Emery’s way is that he can’t seem to keep his eyes - and hands - off the former soldier he’s hired to watch his girls until the wedding.

Emery’s future is riding on his upcoming nuptials, but being with Brann makes him and his family feel whole again. Too bad there’s no way for them to be together.

Or is there?

Navy SEAL as nanny to two sweet girls & their dad!

Retired Navy SEAL Brann Calder is sent by Torus Intercession to a small Montana town ostensibly for bodyguard duty, only to find his protection duties involve being the nanny to two darling girls. Widower and teacher Emery Dodd is planning an arranged marriage to the daughter of a local businessman and he needs help minding his girls in the lead up to his wedding. He isn’t expecting Brann to be a handsome, outspoken, fierce protector of his girls—Brann’s methods may be unconventional but he’s very effective and the girls love him … they’re not the only ones!

This is my first Mary Calmes novel and I loved the light-hearted humour and feel-good vibe. Even when things get tense as Brann goes through the bad guys like a dose of salts, there’s never any doubt he’s got everything handled. The townsfolk immediately embrace Brann as one of their own as he sorts problem after problem and it all done with a lovely warm-hearted, humorous touch. 🎧 Great audio narration by US voice actor Scott R Smith—hit the humour and sweetness just right. I’ll definitely chase up more of this series!

The new guy in town!

Interesting story of a Retired Seal being assigned a job to be a Nanny for two young girls but actually a Bodyguard who have lost their Mum due to her passing away by a Aneurism. The girls fell for the former Seal hook line and sinker. Unfortunately their Father a teacher was engaged to be Married to the local beauty because her Father wanted the land that the girls inherited from their Mother. Its a great story and the Narration excellent.
