De: Tani Hanes

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Being a nanny for a hot, wealthy, single New York photographer definitely has its benefits.

Book two of the New York Nanny series finds Mouse preparing for graduation from NYU as she, Henry and Leo prepare for a wedding, and becoming a family at last. A pregnancy, kindergarten for Leo, and many changes are on the horizon for the Gardeners. Following a romantic honeymoon in Bora Bora, however, they’re hit with devastating news that rocks their fledgling family to its foundations, and threatens its very existence. A partially closed door and a conversation overheard at an inopportune moment cause a cataclysm of events that end in what could be tragedy for poor Leo and his frantic parents. Mouse and Henry find out at all the love and romance in the world can’t solve everything, and Leo finds out how important it is to have real life friends that he can count on in a pinch. This story sees a cameo from the Santangelos of the Growing Flowers series, who are the upstairs neighbors of the Gardeners, so come along for the ride, which will be both fraught and fun. Follow the Gardeners through sexy adventures and scary times adjusting to their new lives in Manhattan, as they go through growing pains and learn to be a new family unit.

Meet the Characters

Martha “Mouse” Cameron THE SHY STUDENT A self-described “butter-face” who comes by her nickname honestly, Mouse has spent her life quietly, on the sidelines, destined to be ignored by just about everyone. Then, a lucky summer job as nanny to Leo changes her life, and the lives of Leo and his father, Henry, forever. Her love for Leo, and her sexual attraction for Henry takes her life in directions she never thought they would. Henry Gardener THE CONCERNED FATHER Henry has had a spectacularly successful professional life as a photographer and part owner of a modeling agency. His personal life, not so much. His wife died in childbirth, leaving him with a two year old son to raise on his own. He’s totally gorgeous, but too worried about his little boy to enjoy a social life, and certainly too distracted to notice the nanny in his home who’s falling in love with him. Leo Gardener THE SENSITIVE CHILD Leo has always been imaginative, and this worries his father, and the other adults in his life. When his father Henry hires Mouse to be his nanny for the summer, it’s a last attempt to tether him to life and get him ready for public school and the harsh realities it can bring. But Leo doesn’t want real life, he just wants Mouse and Henry to love him; he wants a mother and a father. He wants a family. Madeleine Jenner THE CONNIVING GIRLFRIEND Some successful older women like to take younger women under their wings, and feel maternal about small children who come into their orbit. Not Madeleine. She is Henry’s girlfriend when our story begins, but this doesn’t mean she feels like Leo’s mother, nor does she feel particularly kindly toward Mouse, his new nanny. Indeed, she’d be much happier if both of them were to fall into the ocean and drown, probably, which isn’t very nice at all. Travis Hall THE KIND EX-BOYFRIEND Travis used to date Mouse, and would be dating her still if he had his way. He liked her very much, and is perfectly willing to be in her life in whatever capacity she wants him to be, whether its as a benevolent older brother figure, or a kindly friend to her new charge, Leo. Travis has kindness to spare, and will always feel protective of Mouse.
