The Keeper

Famed goalkeeper Noah Wilson doesn't do relationships or complications. The only thing the grumpy single dad wants is to do his job and spend more time with his daughter.

Unfortunately, his bachelor status has made it impossible to find the right nanny for her. With the World Cup looming and a string of fired nannies in his wake, he has no choice but to hire the last person he wants close to his orbit.

Carina is too stubborn and far too appealing for her own good, but she's also a natural with his daughter.

And the way his heart skips a beat whenever she's around? That's nothing more than a coincidence. He's sure of it.

Carina Vu has a problem. She's worked multiple jobs and saved up for years to fulfill her childhood dream of visiting Antarctica, but just when she's close, an unexpected emergency wipes her account clean.

Now, she's back to square one. The clock is ticking, and she needs another job ASAP. Her best (and only) option is to nanny for Noah, the brooding athlete whom she's convinced hates her.

But the more time she spends with him and his adorable daughter, the more cracks she sees in his gruff exterior. And the man underneath all that grumpiness? He's enough to make her rethink everything―including what (and who) it is that she actually wants.
