About the book
Cassie Wainright had gone from riches to rags in one shocking moment. Now, with her mother ailing and creditors at the door, she had only one man to turn to: Nicholas Kincaid, a powerful and alluring businessman who could control anything--except his four-year-old twins.
Nick's new nanny loved her little charges; the only problem was, she was starting to fall for Nick, too! Despite her efforts to remain professional, he quickly charmed his way into her arms...and her bed. And now Cassie was faced with a real dilemma. What would the boss do when he discovered there was another Kincaid heir on the way?
