Dare to Au Pair

Short Summary: Hoping an au pair position in the French Riviera will boost her resume for a prestigious airline’s post-collegiate program, 22-year-old Kat McLauren vies to impress the CEO of her hopeful employer-to-be and godfather to her elite English host family. If wrangling three little ones, nose-diving into French, and burying any attraction for the family’s older brother wasn’t arduous enough, in the village of Èze, Kat moonlights as the town’s tourism writer. She’ll find her feelings uprooted and integrity at a crossroads, leaving her wondering if she’d been chasing the wrong dream all along.

“This light and fizzy rom-com is like a mini-vacation.” —Apple Books Review, Best Book of August

Café au lait, career epiphanies, and love triangles.

Just a typical day at your summer job. When recent business school grad and meticulous ten-year planner, Kat McLauren, takes an unplanned au pair position in the French Riviera to schmooze a future employer, she haphazardly upholds her reputation while rejuvenating a local tourism magazine, grappling with three unruly kids, and avoiding a romance with the host family''s eldest son. But if a summer full of well-aged wine, sizzling flirtation, and a bit of betrayal can promise one thing, it’s that sometimes the best things in life are the ones we don’t plan for.
