Wait With Me: Book 5
Publication Date: September 30, 2025
Only a bad nanny knows what it’s like to kiss the boss.
CEO millionaire, Max Fletcher is a single dad in desperate need of a nanny.
Cozy Barlow is in the middle of her self-appointed “gap year” and doing everything she can to detach from her past.
But when her sister begs her to interview for the nanny position of a high maintenance client, she doesn’t have a good enough reason to say no.
And when Max locks eyes on the twenty-something in a tie-dye sweatsuit who pitches the idea of daydreaming all summer—he prepares to give this bad nanny the boot.
One problem: Max’s little girl thinks this plus-sized in body and spirit nanny might be her new bestie, so she hires her on the spot.
Now Max is stuck with this bizarre woman who hates everything he represents—corporate greed, money, status, power.
But one stormy night when the power goes out, he discovers Cozy doesn’t hate him. In fact, he’s the leading role in her fantasies.
Fantasies, he would very much like to make a reality.
Divorced dad Max Fletcher needs a summer nanny to watch his beloved pre-teen daughter, and he has high expectations.
“Cozy” Cassie Barlow blows those expectations out of the water. Her idea of fun? A whole lot of nothing. Author Amy Daws delivers a delightful mix of laugh-out-loud humor and plenty of heat in Last on the List.
Strait-laced Max may have what it takes in the corporate world, but Cozy demonstrates how much fun life can be without structure. She easily captivates young Everly’s attention with cute slogans and tie-dyed clothes.
It’s the desire brimming between Max and his nanny that leads to some rather interesting scenarios. And while Cozy may be cultivating a laissez-faire attitude, there’s much more depth to her character.
As a plus-size woman, Cozy is secure in her body. The fact that Max is attracted to her curves helps to break the stereotype. The secondary characters also provide plenty of laughs.
Last on the List pits a “Zaddy” against a nanny who pushes all of his buttons in this spicy romcom.
National bestselling author Amy Daws writes spicy love stories that take place in America, as well as across the pond. When Amy is not writing, she’s likely making charcuterie boards from her home in South Dakota, where she lives with her daughter and husband.
