Synopsis: Rowan Chadha&’s job as a children&’s librarian might be temporary, but at least it comes with adorable, hilarious patrons. When he bumps into Jordy Shaw—NHL star and super-hot dad of one of his favorite library kids—at a charity event, he suggests they team up as a fake couple to fend off unwanted attention, never expecting the connection to last. Jordy is in desperate need of a new nanny, and his daughter, Kaira, already adores Rowan. When Rowan&’s apartment becomes uninhabitable just as his library contract ends, Jordy offers a stopgap solution: Rowan can crash in the nanny suite in his home and help with Kaira while Jordy trains for the new season—just until Rowan lands a new job and Jordy can find permanent childcare. As the lines between fantasy and reality blur, the attraction that&’s been simmering between them bubbles over. But while they&’re free with their bodies, they struggle to defend their hearts, knowing their arrangement has an expiration date. After all, Rowan&’s a librarian, not a nanny, and Jordy could be traded at any moment. Their arrangement is temporary, right? Or maybe some things are worth staying for…. Textbook Defense continues the Hockey Ever After series with a fake relationship turned real and an adorable child in need of a nanny.
