Bound by J.L. Quick

How do you move on when your heart won’t let go?

Quinn
My heart has been bound to Declan Evans since we were kids. I’ve spent decades pining for him, wishing he would finally see me as a woman, and no longer as the annoying little girl from down the street. In the countless dreams I’ve had about us living together, it was never to be his daughter’s live-in nanny. This fake version of the life I’ve always wanted is torture. Will this arrangement be what finally draws us together or pushes us apart forever?

Declan
The year since losing my beloved wife, Sarah, has been a barrage of grief, mourning, and learning to be a present father. The never-ending string of inept nannies who can’t handle the demands of my lifestyle has not made things any easier. When Quinn O’Brien, a childhood friend with whom I have a muddled past, is thrust into my life as my new nanny, it only further complicates things. She frustrates the hell out of me and makes me long for things I swore I’d never allow my heart to feel again.
