title: Outrageous
author: Perkin, Norah-Jean
description: The new nanny is everything Matt Erickson doesn't want for his children. Interested only in child care, he feels the woman is too young, too eccentric, much too attractive-and worst of all, likely to take off and leave his children hurt and confused once more. Wanting stability for his kids, Matt challenges her by making a overly generous offer for a long term commitment.    Like armor, Alix St. Germain's outrageous clothing and attitude have seen her through the tough times. She has been an outsider most of her life and hides from her past behind a cocky facade. Affronted that the widowed father thinks her too irresponsible to care for his family, she calls his bluff.
