Harper Aspen was majoring in journalism/creative writing in the Big Apple at New York University. However, she was struggling financially and the situation doesn't get much better when she spills coffee on a millionaire, Connor Humphrey's, business suit. Rather than just accepting her apology, he gives her two options. She can pay him $15,000 or she can become his three year old daughter's nanny for at least four months. But, one of the requirements of being a nanny is staying at the house with the child full time. Despite Harper being a college student, she told Connor that she was not in order to not have to pay the $15,000 and get out of paying her apartments high rent fee. Leaving a three year old at home by herself is the last thing Harper wants to do, but when worst comes to worst she is running out of options. Not to mention Connor is making Harper completely fall head over heels in love. But what happens after multiple tragedies strike and many secrets are revealed, will the pair still be in love?
