My brother’s teammates know not to touch me — but that doesn’t stop me from daring Jaxson Brittain to be the first to break the rule.After one steamy night in Austin, I’m all too aware of the hot, broody defenseman with icy blue eyes and ink sprawling his muscular arms.

He was the one my brother assigned to keep me safe — and I had far too much fun tempting him to be the one to put me in danger.It was just one night of tip-toeing the line, of teasing and flirting and messing around knowing nothing would ever come of it.But when the universe throws me back into his lap two weeks later and we end up on a secret road trip together, all bets are off.I can’t help but touch him. I can’t help but pray for him to touch me. And I can’t resist the temptation to test him at every turn.Jaxson is smart and doesn’t have a death wish. So, like a gentleman, he keeps his hands to himself… the jerk.But the closer we get on the road and the farther we get from reality, the less those warning signs from my brother seem to deter him.When we started this road trip, we set a boundary. We promised to keep all arms and legs safely in the friend zone.Now, miles and miles away from all the reasons we shouldn’t, all I can hear is my heart thumping out the resounding reason we should.And the way those heated blue eyes watch me, I know I’m not the only one. less

My mother only wanted me to learn one lesson growing up…Men are trash. Her father left her, and then my father left us. Being raised by her and my grandmother, I was surrounded by the reminder to be independent and guard my heart. After my one and only experience with a boy in college fell flatter than a pancake, I realized they were right — and I was content to live the life of a twenty-six-year-old cat lady.Until Will Perry blew my quiet world to smithereens... moreMy mother only wanted me to learn one lesson growing up…Men are trash. Her father left her, and then my father left us. Being raised by her and my grandmother, I was surrounded by the reminder to be independent and guard my heart. After my one and only experience with a boy in college fell flatter than a pancake, I realized they were right — and I was content to live the life of a twenty-six-year-old cat lady.Until Will Perry blew my quiet world to smithereens.Starting goalie for the Tampa Bay Ospreys and the kind of hot that scrambles your brain, all I was ever supposed to be to him was his daughter’s kindergarten teacher. Then, in a twist of events, his temporary nanny.But temporary turns to permanent, and when I move into his pool house, everything changes.He’s impossibly grumpy and focused on only two things: hockey, and taking care of his daughter. I’m only focused on using this new income to pay back my student loans. But in that house, I feel his heated gaze beneath that permanent scowl, the way it lingers and warms my skin. And though I know my mother would lose her mind if she knew, my dreams have become midnight fantasies about my long-haired, muscle-lined mystery of a boss.When the tension becomes too much, we break, and we make a deal. He still needs a nanny. I still need a paycheck and for my matriarchy to not disown me. But Will agrees to teach me everything I’ve always wanted to learn, and I’m all too eager to be his student.I can do this. I’m a grown woman. I can explore my sexuality with the hottest goalie on earth and still remain one-hundred percent professional. And I can definitely do it all without catching feelings. I have to.Otherwise, I’ll end up heartbroken in my mother’s arms while she shakes her head and asks me if I’ll ever learn my lesson.___________________________________________TROPES:Pro Hockey RomanceSingle Dad/NannyForced ProximitySpicy LessonsGrumpy SunshineAge GapOpposites AttractFound Family
