Connovan Chronicles

Hiring my little sister's best friend as the new nanny for my kids? Big mistake.Isabel is fifteen years too young, too kind, and far too attractive for this to be anything but a problem. Nannying requires her to move in, living close enough to reach out and grab... Not that I would. I'm old enough to know better.She's a professional ballerina recovering from an injury, and I'm the CEO of a multibillion-dollar conglomerate. She needs a job. I need a nanny. It's a simple win-win.Wrong. It's sheer torture. Coming home late to find her curled up on the couch. To see her smile at me and ask how my day was. She's beautiful, and always around, and the thoughts I'm having soon turn inappropriate.But that life is behind me. My wife died years ago, and I can't handle another relationship. Can't handle the complications, the feelings, or the inevitable pain.Even if Isabel is a temptation too sweet to resist. Kissing her is addictive… and soon I can't keep my hands to myself or stay on my side of the penthouse.It's easy to forget things like age gaps and fears in the heat of passion. But us together is a mistake… even if it quickly becomes my favorite one.

The woman I love has always been off-limits. She was my best friend's fiancée… and now my new roommate.I thought I was used to pain. Harper dated my best friend for years, and I was going to be the best man at their wedding. Until she blows up the engagement and shows up in London with a new job.Being friends never worked for me. That's why I moved away. But here I am, unable to resist her again. And when I see the tiny, unsafe apartment she's renting? I insist she move into my giant Kensington townhouse. Roommates. Should be fine.Or not. Because I find Harper's "thirty things by thirty" list and decide to help her fulfill it. Showing her around London, taking her on trips, sleeping in the same bed… helping her explore things her ex was never interested in.But it doesn't matter how close we get, because Harper is newly single, unimpressed by my wealth, and doesn't know I'm love with her. One wrong move and I might ruin this relationship forever.
