Hello (Hoss)

The first time I see my high school crush since graduation, I'm a 30-year-old woman laying on the table for a pap smear.He's the hot, newly single doctor who just moved back to his hometown, hoping to find some stability for his daughter. Meanwhile, I'm a hot mess, just fired from my job and ousted from company housing. I'm living in my old bedroom and trying to get my appointments in before my insurance runs out along with what little is left of my money.That's when Fletcher tells me we may be able to help each other out. He needs a live-in nanny for his daughter over the summer, and the last three have quit after a day.With no other job options in my small hometown, I quickly accept.After all, I've dealt with pigheaded, balding middle managers. I can handle an eight-year-old girl, right?If I can't help her and set aside my feelings for this hot single dad, I'll need to find a new job away from my family and outside of the town I love.Hello Doctor is full of sweet moments with a firecracker of a little girl, her dad with a heart of gold, and the woman who brings them both together. Grab your copy of this spicy contemporary romance between a nanny and her smoldering boss today!

Men view love as a game. One you can walk away from.At least that's what the men in my life have taught me. My dad ran off when I was young, and just when I thought I was getting my own happily ever after, my ex left me on my own with two kids.Trying to pick up the pieces, I move to a small town where I can have help from my children's grandparents. I think I know what to expect from small-town life. Until I meet my new neighbor.Knox Madigan. Local hero. Great smile. So hot I'm sure I'd be burned if I got too close.Literally. He and my kids are in a major prank war. From whoopie cushions in my bed to snapping fireworks under my front door mat, I've witnessed it all. But I can't hold it against him because my kids are smiling more than I've seen since their dad left.Every meddling person in this town thinks we'd be the perfect match, but I know better.History's shown men view love as a game, and he's an expert. But I can't afford to play with my heart again. Especially since it's not just my heart on the line.

A confident, plus size CEO running a billion dollar company and the country's best professional quarterback… it sounds like the ultimate power couple, if it wasn't all pretend.Fake dating was not in the plan this year. Especially since I hardly have time for actual dating.That is until Ford Madigan makes me an offer I can't refuse: a fake relationship that will benefit us both. He'll get away from the team owner's entitled daughter while I score some points with members of the company's board who love him more than they hate me.It all seems like a simple business transaction–make a few public appearances and pretend we're in love until we both get what we want.The problem is… I find out he's more than just another jock. He's a humanitarian using his fortune to help kids all over Texas. Not to mention, he isn't intimidated by my success like most men.Now I want more from him. I want something real.But scars from his past keep him from risking his heart a second time.I haven't gotten where I am in life from settling, but I'm also not the kind of woman who will wait around for a man to realize what's right in front of him.Will he make this relationship more? Or will I be the one who got away?
