Christmas comes early for Phoenix Westerly, though it’s not a gift he expected to receive.

The sudden death of Phoenix’s best friend leaves him as the sole guardian of a five-year-old child. His life is a mixture of stress, pressure, grief, and now the worries of being a single parent. At the suggestion of his mother, he decides to hire a nanny.

Crystal Winston’s life has been one failure after another. She is the flighty carefree one of the family who can’t hold onto a job or make a decision. It’s time to grow up, and when she sees an ad for a nanny, she thinks, what’s the worst that can happen?

What happens might not be the worst, but it sure the hell isn’t anything Crystal ever thought of or could have planned!
