TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORNS By : Cynthia Terelst

The Plot : Lachlan
So what if I ’ ve gone through four nannies in three short years ? I know what ’ s best for my children and it ’ s not the nanny my mother and ex-wife have hired .
Peyton may be all kinds of beautiful but she is totally unsuitable — city girl , former doctor and no experience .
Problem is , everybody loves her . I don ’ t want to feel the same ; one failure at love is enough . Besides , I have a duty to my family and the farm . … Peyton After an accident put an end to my surgical career , I jumped at the opportunity to be a nanny . Moving to Australia will get me away from my controlling family . It ’ s time I start making my own decisions .
But falling for my boss is not the wisest one I could make , even if it feels right . It doesn ’ t hurt that his singing makes my panties melt .
An Excerpt
A single-storey house came into view . A wide verandah circled the limestone building and shaded the large windows . Lush lawn surrounded the house with beautiful gardens and large shade trees .
Jane stopped the car in the driveway , and we hopped out . Two children came running from around the side of the house . Must be Scarlet and Thomas . Scarlet ’ s blonde hair was in two pigtails , and Thomas had a mass of messy brown hair . Their grins were identical .
Two figures made their way down the stairs . I knew Ann instantly from our video calls .
The man beside her was striking . Sunlight glinted off his thick golden-brown hair like surgical blades would shine under focused lighting . He was tanned and muscular with tattoos down one arm , a mixture of black and white and colour , indistinct at this distance . Wowsers , I didn ’ t know farmers looked like that . I blushed . While Ann oozed warmth , he oozed stoic resignation .
