The Bachelor Next Door
Spending her holidays in picturesque Lilac Circle, Michigan, is the perfect place for Nina Jerome to start anew. She’s determined to put her painful divorce in the past and focus on the future. She hadn’t planned on being distracted by her sweet neighbor, Doug Billings. The successful businessman and temporary dad is clueless when it comes to taking care of his little niece. Getting help from Nina is the perfect setup—but something about the pretty new nanny makes him think about the unthinkable: having a wife and a family of his own. Can he convince Nina that she’s worthy of a second chance at love—just in time for Christmas?
“You’re quiet tonight,” she said.
Doug looked at Nina as they danced. “Just thinking how happy the bride and groom look.”
“They’ll have a great marriage. In sickness and health—that’s important.”
Her words jarred him. Was Nina sick? Is that why she said marriage for her was impossible? Possibilities spiraled in his mind, but he didn’t pursue them. “They’ll make tremendous parents. You know, a guy at work told me that no one’s prepared for parenthood. It’s learn as you go.”
“I’ve been trying to tell you you’re wonderful with Kimmy. You should be a dad. You’re the sweetest man I know.”
He saw sadness slip across her face. “Don’t you want to have a child?”
She hesitated…only a second…but he caught it. “Very much.”
So why did she pause?
He had to find out. But he knew pushing her would make her put up a wall. Instead, he’d be patient.
The woman in his arms was worth waiting for.

She became his wife. Then he went to her,
And the Lord enabled her to conceive,
And she gave birth to a son.
—Ruth 4:13–14
