Book Description
Being a nanny for a newly single dad wasn’t the job I applied for when I decided to lick my wounds in Blossom Peak.
But showing Henley Clark my bare backside wasn’t in my plans either.When the pursuit of my dream career seemed unattainable, instead of going home and proving my parents right, I made a detour to the small mountain town I remember visiting as a kid.
I just wanted a waitressing job to make some extra money while I figured out my next steps.
But then the lumberjack of an owner begged me to help him with his three month-old daughter that he just found out existed, and I couldn’t resist his plea.
Or his massive physique—the one I saw every detail of when he appeared shirtless in front of me three times in the first week.
The problem with living together though is there’s little space, especially when my boss is so closed off that he’s like a nut I want to crack open.
And when I do, he steals the breath from my lungs—and reignites my creativity as well.
But I gave myself a deadline to figure out what’s next.
Nowhere in that plan though did I account for falling for Henley Clark.
Turns out the heart doesn’t care, even when you’re on borrowed time.

My Thoughts
On Borrowed Time by Harlow James is a profound reminder that sometimes a detour is exactly where you’re meant to land. This story is a beautiful, emotionally rich journey that starts as a simple escape for Elodie, who retreats to the small mountain town of Blossom Peak to lick her wounds after her career dreams stall. Hoping for a low-stakes waitressing job to find her footing, she instead finds herself becoming a nanny for Henley Clark, a "lumberjack" of a lodge owner who has just discovered he is the father of a three-month-old daughter.
The forced proximity of their living situation creates a delicious, simmering tension from the very beginning. Henley is a quiet, closed-off hero—a nut that Elodie is determined to crack open—while Elodie brings a bruised-but-not-broken energy that reignites her own creativity as she helps Henley navigate the overwhelming transition into single fatherhood. Watching them open up to one another and create a safe haven amidst their individual dark moments is deeply healing and authentic. The chemistry between them is off the charts, balancing heart-wrenching vulnerability with spice that truly hits.
What elevates this romance is the "borrowed time" element; Elodie has given herself a strict deadline to figure out her next steps, which adds a poignant ache to every tender moment and lingering look. The growth Henley undergoes as he learns to see himself through Elodie’s eyes is wonderful to witness, and the supportive group of friends and family in Blossom Peak adds a "feel-good" layer to the narrative. It is a story of resilience and the beautiful unpredictability of the heart, proving that love doesn't care about your predetermined plans.
Experience this story on audio is a must, as it feels even more intimate and powerful. Connor Crais is the perfect Henley Clark, using a grounded, deep delivery to capture the character's exhaustion, restraint, and eventual brave transformation. Vanessa Edwin brings immense heart to Elodie, perfectly balancing her sweetness with a fierce, determined spirit. Their performances are full of raw emotion and palpable chemistry, making every interaction feel earned. Whether you are looking for a cozy small-town escape or a deeply satisfying single-dad romance, this audiobook is a stunning performance that you won't want to turn off.
