Nanny in the Middle by Adrian J. Smith
Greer Lockheart is a nanny to her core. When she takes on a new job of working for three families at once, she’s not sure she can see her way through the chaos. As the days tick by and she falls more in love with each kid in her care, she can’t help but also fall more in lust with their mothers. But these women are complicated. And Greer keeps running face first into their pasts, especially Ivy’s ex. Who seems bent on taking the family down, beginning with the weakest link, Greer.
Nathalie Coeur, Lachlan Norris, and Ivy Villegas have been friends for a long time. Working together is second nature to them, but that doesn’t mean their life is without problems. With Ivy’s soon-to-be ex-wife making threats and breathing down their necks, they close ranks to fight for justice, just hoping they’ll come out unscathed on the other side.
They protect their kids first and each other second. But what happens when their rank breaks because they can’t keep their hands off the nanny?
Will their family falter?
Or will they have one, or two, more to add to their numbers?
Paving the way in a polyamorous relationship isn’t easy, but with these four, they might have found the key to lasting love and support.
