Summary—
Mia
Balducci misses her childhood days and yearns for the big,
Italian family that she left behind in small town Massachusetts. At the tender
age of sixteen, Mia moves with her bachelor father to Los Angeles, but no
matter how many years pass, it never becomes home to her. The years spent
living with her father aren’t easy, especially since she can’t stop thinking
about what she once had. Her enrollment in the University of Southern
California promises to bring exciting changes to her life, but Mia winds up
with big problems instead. When she runs into an old friend from her old
hometown of Winthrop, she gets swept up in nostalgia, and she soon loses
herself in a quickly-progressing romance. When the fantasy falls apart, she is
left to raise her precious little girl, Lucia, on her own. The demands of Mia’s
work schedule and Lucia’s needs increase, and their lives become increasingly
hectic. It is soon clear to Mia that she needs help. Luckily, her life-saving
cousin saves the day and brings the mother and daughter a male nanny – their
new “manny.”
After losing his high-pressure job on Wall Street, Dominic
Roberts wants to follow his dreams to have a family. He’s already one fiancée
down, and there are no likely prospects for another. In order to find the
family he so desperately wants, he finds himself getting into the manny
business. Since he is fully qualified to provide child care and is eager to
leave New York City behind, his sister-in-law is able to land him a job in
California working for his first client – the beautiful and intriguing Mia Balducci.
Will Lucia like the new man in her mother's life? Will Mia? And
will this new trio discover the happily ever after they all so desperately
seek?

Jennifer
Garcia’s (aka Forbes Arnone) love of travel began when she traveled to the West
Coast to visit her father at the age of three. Her home until she was sixteen
was a small coastal town near Boston. She currently resides in Los Angeles with
her husband, two sons, and two dogs.
Her
lifelong love for reading and writing was put aside for many years while she
made her way in the world and nurtured her young family. Even though she is
older, and life never seems to settle, she’s finding her way while attending
college full-time in pursuit of a B.A. in English Literature. She also runs a
business, and is still caring for her family. Believing she can do it all, with
the help of her family, she worked on her first novel during the late hours of
the night while balancing the rest of her life during the day. Her hard work
paid off, as her first novel, My Mr. Manny, will be published August 2013.
