The Nanny Proposal

The Nanny Proposal
Donna Clayton

SHE'S YOURS.Two handwritten words changed Dr. Greg Hamilton's playboy lifestyle forever. From the moment he found his baby girl on the doorstep, she held his heart in her tiny hands. Juggling fatherhood and a busy practice wasn't easy–so when the shy and lovely Jane Dale proposed she be baby Joy's nanny, Greg didn't question his luck….Jane's pulse beat fast when she faced the man who'd supposedly seduced and left her sister. When she'd joined his household under false pretenses, she hadn't expected her niece's father to be caring, honest…and much too attractive. Would her deception cost her the child and the man of her heart?

She was about to meet the odious Dr. Greg Hamilton.

Jane’s eyes widened, and her heart skittered. He was too handsome for words!

“Hello.”

He smiled, and Jane knew without a doubt from whom her baby niece had inherited her dimples. And his eyes were as green as little Joy’s, too.

He reached for her hand and she automatically clasped his. His palm was warm against hers. Secure. Trustworthy. Her insides went utterly haywire.

“Jane,” she said, relieved that she remembered her name. “Jane Dale.” Her voice sounded whispery, halting.

“Nice to meet you.” He paused. “Give me a moment to look at your file and then you can tell me what I can do for you today.”

She was happy to give him as long as he needed. She needed some time herself. Time to bridle these unexpected and totally confusing emotions that were wreaking havoc on her nervous system….
