Sunshine (Aster Springs #2) SIGNED Hard Cover Special Edition

He’s the protective, overloaded single dad. She’s the wild sunshine girl who’s always loved him. He needs a nanny. She needs a fresh start. Falling for each other was never part of the plan.

Dylan Davenport has spent years putting everyone else first. He’s the dependable one—the chef running a successful restaurant, the caretaker of his family’s ranch, and the devoted single dad raising his six-year-old daughter alone. Responsibility is his entire identity, and there’s no room in his schedule—or his heart—for dating.

Especially not for his sister’s best friend.

Poppy Golightly left Aster Springs at eighteen to forget the impossible crush she had on Dylan. She planned on building a life full of joy and adventure. Instead, she returns home with a shattered heart, an empty bank account, and the same stubborn belief that love—real love—is worth waiting for.

When Dylan reluctantly hires Poppy as his daughter’s live-in nanny, his carefully controlled world catches fire. Poppy is bright, spontaneous, messy, and full of life—everything Dylan stopped allowing himself to be. And now she’s grown up and irresistible.

She’s incredible with his daughter.
She’s sunshine in human form.
She’s his biggest temptation.

Dylan knows he shouldn’t touch her.
She's his sister’s best friend. His employee. Off-limits.

But heated looks turn into late-night kisses, stolen moments, and a forbidden romance neither of them can resist. Poppy is convinced that Dylan is her once-in-a-lifetime love… but Dylan is terrified she’ll leave and shatter his daughter’s heart—and his own.

And when their secret relationship is accidentally exposed, Dylan realizes exactly how far he’ll go to fight for Poppy’s happily ever after.

SUNSHINE is a single dad / nanny small-town romance featuring grumpy/sunshine chemistry, forbidden love, and steamy tension—with a guaranteed HEA. Book two in the Aster Springs Series but completely readable as a standalone romance.
