Big Shots: Book 2
Publication Date: July 16, 2024
#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey returns with an all-new sports rom-com about a burly, surly, single dad who falls head-over-hockey-stick for his quirky live-in nanny…
Tallulah is smart, vivacious, and studying to be a marine biologist. She’s also twenty-six and broke. So when Burgess, a battle-scarred hockey veteran and newly single dad, offers her a job as his live-in nanny, she jumps at the opportunity to get paid while living in a super fancy neighborhood and being around Lissa, his cool but introverted tween.
Her tween charge isn’t the only one who could use some help fitting in, though. According to…well, everyone except Burgess, he needs to get back on the dating scene, and adventurous Tallulah is just the girl to show him how. But as boundaries are slowly crossed and Burgess finds himself pulled between his daughter, who wants her parents back together, and his insane chemistry with Tallulah, a huge rift is formed, and Tallulah does the “right” thing—breaks her own heart and walks away.
Though Burgess knows it’s for the best—he’s too jaded, with too much baggage—a chance meeting, and a new push from his daughter, forces him to put everything on the line and fight to prove he learned his lessons well and is worthy of a happily ever after with Tallulah.
Author Tessa Bailey continues to showcase her ability to deliver engaging characters brought together by interesting storylines.
Her range as a romance author allows her to easily gain readers across the spice spectrum. She continues that success with the release of her latest romantic comedy titled The Au Pair Affair.
Fans will recognize Tallulah and Burgess (aka Sir Savage) as secondary characters from Fangirl Down. With the second installment of the Big Shots series, the focus turns from golf to hockey.
Burgess may be able to dominate on the ice, but a request to French braid his 12-year-old daughter’s hair sends him to his knees. Although Tallulah has some trust issues, she manages to put them aside to serve as the nanny.
What neither of them counts on is an intense attraction. As the boundaries start to blur, Tallulah tries to do what she thinks is best. However, Sir Savage may have a different ending in mind.
With plenty of laughs built into the story, The Au Pair Affair delivers yet another satisfying tale courtesy of Tessa Bailey.
