The Vibe

Kai Rhodes has everything under control. At least, that's what he tells himself. As the star pitcher for Chicago's professional baseball team and a devoted single father, his life revolves around baseball and raising his son. He's convinced he doesn't need help, despite cycling through nanny after nanny. That all changes when his coach hires someone Kai can't fire: his own daughter.

Miller Montgomery has never been one to stay in one place for long. Fresh off winning one of the most prestigious awards in the pastry world, she's facing the pressure of proving her success wasn't a fluke. Hoping a summer away from the kitchen will help her rediscover her creativity, she reluctantly agrees to nanny for her dad's stubborn star player.

What begins as a temporary arrangement quickly turns into something neither of them expected. Miller brings laughter, spontaneity, and warmth back into Kai's carefully structured life, while Kai and his adorable son slowly become the family she's never allowed herself to want. But summer has an expiration date, and Miller has always been the type to leave before anyone has the chance to ask her to stay. As feelings deepen and goodbye gets closer, they'll have to decide if forever is worth risking the lives they thought they wanted.
