With three ex-wives, Avery Worchester has three kids he's only just started to get to know. Eight months ago, his best friend made him realize he needed to make changes. To start with, he broke up with the woman he'd been dating. Stella hated his kids, and the feeling was mutual. They had no idea she was pregnant at the time. Barely two weeks after the baby was born, Stella dumped Avery's newborn daughter on his doorstep, saying not to contact her. Ever. With nowhere to turn for help, Avery responds to an ad from a nanny looking for work. Jayne Eyre Huntington is strapped for cash, and Avery needs her help badly.

Recently, Jayne learned she's the child of an asylum seeker from a country where Christianity is illegal. Her American parents adopted and raised her alongside their own daughter, who was jealous of any male attention Jayne was given. Like her fictional counterpart, Jayne always felt like second best and quickly learned to hide potential romantic relationships from her sabotaging, jealous sister.

Soon, Jayne's existence is wrapped up in Avery and his precious baby girl along with his other, older children. Hiding her growing feelings for her employer—perhaps even from herself—seems the only course. Avery has proven himself to be anything but reliable and devoted to the women in his life, if his past is any indication. When a sensitive, passionate angel ventures into the miry wilds of love, what can her heart expect to meet beyond certain exile?
