The Nearly-Weds - Jane Costello

What’s the worst thing that could happen to a blushing bride? To somebody warm, Loving, and fun -Like Zoe Moore?

After Zoe is jilted by her fiancé Jason, she’s unable to face the pitying looks of her friends and family. Fleeing to America, she is employed as a nanny by moody, difficult, but devastatingly sexy single dad Ryan.

Zoe quickly wins over his children, but their father is more of a challenge. Things aren’t helped, of course, by her inadvertently displaying her knickers to his colleagues or nearly hospitalising him with a toy bow and arrow. Thank God she’s got her colourful circle of friends to keep her sane: fun-loving Trudie, hippy Amber and chilly, tight-lipped Felicity.

But over time Zoe and Ryan begin to understand each other, and their apparently ill-fated relationship takes on a new dimension. There’s just one problem, as Zoe soon discovers: the past isn’t always easy to escape, no matter how far away you go.
