Firsts in the City

My new boss is a CEO Billionaire who hired me to be a nanny for his son. This should have been easy for me considering my experience with children. Except the man I'm working for is Thomas Ford. A man I never thought I would see again, especially not five years later. Now, I live in his penthouse in the city. I refuse to cross the line because one, he's my boss and two, I don't do relationships anymore. It's hard to deny this man when his touch lights my body on fire. I told myself I wouldn't risk losing my job by giving into temptation but all it takes is one night in his kitchen and I am done for. But who am I kidding? I was a goner that first night.

I had three rules when I agreed to do this. One of us is going to break the most important rule of them all. My new boss has lost his mind. Marc Ford is everything that I'm not. He wants a long-term relationship that leads to marriage and a house full of kids, but I want nothing to do with being tied down to someone. In fact, I have never been in a relationship in my life. But then he approaches me with a plea to be his fake fiance because his boss wants someone in an established relationship to pass down ownership of the real estate agency we work for. I don't know how he expects me to spend the summer pretending we're a happily engaged couple. We're opposites in every way that counts. I told myself this would be easy because I don't catch feelings and I'm a pro at keeping things casual. We both agreed to the rules. Except, things started to feel all too real, even on That First Date. Contains mature themes.

Something tells me that nothing I do can stop myself from falling for my roommate. I've always wanted to be a chef. But the same day two pink lines showed up on the test, was the day I gave up chasing my own dreams to put my daughter first. I didn't expect that to lead to a life of being scrutinized by my parents for every single move I made. After years of it, I was done. I caught the first flight to New York. I was already filled with nerves before we even took off until a stranger with an infectious smile, heartbreaker blue eyes, and a personality that can light up anyone's life, took the seat next to me. Months later, the same man shows up at my bar in a small town in the mountains. This time he's eager to learn more about me. I thought telling him I have a daughter would make him run back home, except now I find myself as his new roommate in the city. I told myself I wasn't going to get involved with him. I told myself that I'm here to live out my dream of being a chef. But somewhere along the way, he stole my heart. And if I had to take a guess . . . It was back when we took that first flight. Contains mature themes.

All secrets kept in the dark eventually come to light. Being the youngest Ford sibling and the only girl out of the four of us, I feel like the bar is set high for me. My brothers have built very successful lives for themselves and the pressure to live up to them is often too much for me to handle. But I don't tell them that. I keep my struggles to myself. I can handle everything on my own. Until I can't . . . and the only person I can get a hold of is my brother's best friend. Logan Bennett shows up to the rescue like a knight in shining armor. Only he isn't on a horse. He's on a motorcycle, and because he's older than me, he's completely off limits. The problem is, I've always had a crush on him. And in one night, everything changes between us. Adding to the long list of things I keep from my brothers won't hurt, right? It might once they find out about that last secret. Contains mature themes.
