Tess works for Beck as his assistant and we he fires her she must confront the fact that she's in debt and unwittingly mushrooms are growing in her leaky apartment. When Beck gets custody of his two younger sisters Tess goes to work for him as a nanny and falls in love with girls. Beck and Tess who once found each other intolerable being to like one another. But scheming co-workers, stalker exes and evil family members make things complicated for the two especially since they are fake dating to keep Beck's sister's grandmother from taking custody of the two girls.

I thought this book was okay, I didn't like the heroine as much as other heroine's in Alina Jacobs' books. I thought her dependency on food and the fact that everyone supported it was a little weird. It's obvious she stress ate to the max. Beck was charming when he wanted to be and I still loved his brothers and the addition of his sisters but a part of me was just reading for more information on Greg and Belle who I absolutely love.
