Sheriff's Off-Limits Nanny

• Characters

  • Sheriff Aiden Manning
    • At 41 years old, is a total force to be reckoned with in the cozy small-town of Charming. He rocks that tough exterior and alpha male vibes like it's second nature. Standing tall with a physique sculpted by years of public service and piercing blue eyes that see right through you, he's a sight to behold. And let's not forget that silver-streaked dark hair, always styled short and no-nonsense, adding to his no-messing-around demeanor. Outwardly, he's all about rules and efficiency, playing strictly by the book. But underneath that frosty exterior, he's a devoted single dad with a soft spot for his daughter, Raleigh. His love for her shines through, showing a tenderness he saves just for his family. Losing his wife, Anne, to COVID hit him hard. It's turned him into a bit of a clean freak, always sanitizing everything around him. A quiet tribute to his ongoing battle against the invisible enemy that took his love away. .
    Stacey Brownlee
    • She is a lively 26-year-old living in the heart of Charming. Stacey is a thrill-seeker at heart, always on the lookout for her next adrenaline-fueled adventure. She loves speeding (which is how she and Sheriff Manning became enemies years ago), and she's a dreamer. She has a soft spot for the simpler, rustic farm life and has a profound love for animals. Her azure blue eyes sparkle with an undying spirit of adventure and her sun-kissed brown hair is often pulled back into a ponytail. Her energetic lifestyle has given her a lean and athletic build, complementing her vibrant personality perfectly. She's always dreamed about living in a nice house on a big enough property to have farm animals.
    Raleigh Manning
    • Is like a little bundle of energy that brings sunshine wherever she goes at eight years of age. With her adorable face framed by a riot of sun-kissed curls, she always has a contagious smile. Her mischievous green eyes reflect her adventurous spirit. Even though she's young, Raleigh stands tall, showing the resilience and determination that comes from growing up on a farm. Her sun-kissed skin often has traces of dirt, a sign of her playful escapades in the vast expanse she calls home. Raleigh is a true country girl, and she absolutely adores all the animals on her property. Whether it's the cheeky goats, the quacking ducks, or her beloved pony, every day is an exciting adventure in her own little animal kingdom. She treats every creature as a friend, and her laughter is the sweetest symphony to their ears.

    • A 46-year-old ex-marine and devoted single father to his 10-year-old daughter, Annie Hill. With his grumpy demeanor and commanding presence, he effortlessly captures attention wherever he goes. But beneath his tough exterior lies a heart of gold, especially when it comes to his beloved daughter. Residing in the close-knit town of Summerley, where everyone knows each other very well, Paul has endured his fair share of hardships. The loss of his wife, Jessica, to kidney disease five years ago thrust him into the challenging world of single parenthood. For the past six years, Paul has dedicated himself to raising Annie (the first year spent caring for the ailing Jessica), relying on his savings to make ends meet, all while cherishing every moment with his little girl. As Paul reenters the workforce, he embraces a new role as a personal trainer, offering intense workouts to the fathers in town. However, in his pursuit of providing the best life for Annie, he realizes the need for a nanny to lend a helping hand while he focuses on his newfound career.
    Nicole Ward
    • A mysterious 31-year-old who has fully embraced the allure of solitude. She's rarely seen in town since she relies on delivery services for groceries, essentials, etc to be brought right to her doorstep. With her cozy home as her sanctuary, she has unintentionally earned the reputation of a recluse. But there's more to Nicole than meets the eye. Behind closed doors, she transforms into Raven Ravine, the enigmatic and captivating suspense author who has stolen the hearts of her small town with her captivating novels. The kicker is that no one knows that she is the popular award-winning author. Unfortunately, her writing journey is put on hold when she encounters writer's block. Her agent encourages her to use this as a sign to relax and focus on other things other than writing for the time being. Since Nicole has spent the last few years writing nonstop with mild short breaks (only when she's sending the works to her editing team), she realizes she doesn't know how to enjoy life anymore aside from writing. While wondering what she's going to do to pass the time, she suddenly gets the perfect idea when an opportunity is presented.

Her father supports her interests of loving mystery and suspense by organizing scavenger hunts in their backyard, creating special memories. Once Annie finds out that she's getting a nanny to look after her, she hopes that the nanny likes to read mystery novels or watch mystery shows. Even though Annie feels different from her peers, she embraces her individuality and finds inspiration in her love for adventure. Annie's unwavering spirit and thirst for suspense gives her the confidence to be unapologetically herself.

  
  

  Summary

  • After six years of not working, Paul Hill is finally returning to work. Being someone who loved intense work outs in the marines, the ex-marine decides to be a personal trainer. The fathers in town, who only have the one lackluster gym in town with mediocre male trainers, sign up with Paul immediately. Paul is excited but also worried since it’s summer and Annie needs a nanny. The only woman Annie has ever been at home with had been her mother, his late wife Jessica, who passed away five years ago from kidney disease.
    Nicole Ward is very misunderstood by the other residents of Summerley. Because she rarely comes out of her home and relies on delivery services? She’s branded a recluse and exudes a mysterious aura. What they don’t know is that she’s popular suspense author Raven Ravine, loved by the town and almost everyone reads her novels. She’s hit writer’s block for the first time in years and encouraged by her agent to take this time to relax. Nicole becomes bored because she’s forgotten how to enjoy life outside of writing.
    A chance encounter one day has Nicole offering to be Annie’s nanny. At first, Paul is reluctant because he doesn’t know that much about Nicole. But he did know her late parents, who he’d been great friends with, so he decides to give her a chance. What he never counted on was falling for the mysterious woman and Nicole never thought she’d find a new purpose for life outside of her writing.

  Summary

  • Principal Vincent Miller is finally returning to work after taking time off. For the past five years, he had to homeschool his daughter Astrid because she was too distraught to return to school. He understood since losing a parent is a traumatic loss and he also needed time to grieve his late wife, Gretchen, who passed from heart disease. Since Astrid’s school gets out earlier than the town’s high school, Vincent decides to hire a nanny so Astrid can go home after school since that’s where she feels more comfortable. A part of him is irritated that his estranged son, Jimmy, isn’t around to spend time with his sister and help her get back to her old self.
    Enter Faith Young, returning back to Ashland after spending the last six years living in the big city. She went there chasing the thrills that big cities offer, just to realize that she’s a small-town girl at heart and she’s miserable living in the city. The con about moving back to town is that her parents have since retired and moved away. The pro is that at least her scumbag ex, Jimmy, doesn’t live in Ashland anymore. While settling in and looking for a job, she gets a blast from the past when she notices a nanny posting from Vincent. She’s always got along well with Vincent, the late Gretchen, and even spent time with Astrid before she moved away.
    Faith taking this job opens up a chance at real love and Vincent being able to get a second chance at love. Will being the father of her ex complicate matters or will they be able to overcome that obstacle, along with others that may come?

  Summary

  • Adrian Shaw is a chef in the small town of Hillsburg and makes his living by being a personal chef for catering events. All he wishes for is the recognition he believes he deserves, especially proving people wrong about chefs only surviving and making it in big cities. He believes the opportunity to finally make his dream come true happens when he’s invited to a prestigious invite-only event that honors top chefs. It’s an annual event, and he knows of chefs who have gone to the event only to end up hired as head chefs in popular restaurants or being able to take their catering business outside the town. The only problem is that it’s mandatory to bring a plus one.
    Melissa Hartley has been the nanny to Sophie Shaw, Adrian’s nine-year-old daughter, for the last three years. When Sophie’s mother passed away in a boating accident, Melissa was right there to step in to help the best that she could. They eventually found their groove with Melissa being trusted with Sophie’s care, especially if Adrian had to travel to neighboring cities and towns for catering events. She wonders if she’s missing anything in her life, mainly since her life consists of work and cleaning her apartment, making her content with how everything is. Since Melissa is the only female friend he has, he asks if she can be his plus one for the event and also act as if they are dating. It’s an unusual request from him, but since they are friends, she doesn’t mind and agrees to it.
    What they never expected was sparks flying between them during the event and afterward, leading them down a path of romance and giving Adrian a possible second chance at love.
