What could possibly go wrong fake dating the gorgeous single dad in a small town? The answer, you fall for him. It started out perfect. Grady Whitlock needed a plus one for his business meetings, and I needed a date for a wedding. We had a plan. It was a good one. Until it wasn't. I was not supposed to have feelings for him. I was not going to let my heart race when his soulful blue eyes stared into mine. No way should I have noticed his smile or the dimple on his right cheek or his strong arms when he held me close. I especially wasn't going to melt when I saw him play with my daughter. Most of all I was not going to sleep with him. Nope. None of that was supposed to happen, but it does. Now I find myself dreaming of him every night. Wishing we were really a couple because the way he kisses me doesn't feel as if it's pretend. But we've both watched our dreams shatter, and I can't handle another broken heart.

"First rule of being a nanny? Don't fall for the single dad, even if he is smoking hot.

All we need to do is keep our distance and remain professional...turns out, that's easier said than done. Instead of focusing on my future, all I see is the strong jawline, crystal-blue eyes, and rock-hard body right in front of me. We try to resist each other, but we end up crossing every line until I'm in his bed. I tell myself it's just this once. Okay, twice. All right, every night. But it's got to end-he's fourteen years older than me, with a kid and a stressful job. Have I mentioned my dad is his boss? Then there's the past I'm trying to forget. Secrets aren't easy to keep and mine are getting too big to hide. Walking away is never simple but when I do, I can't look back. Even if it means leaving behind the man I was never meant to love"--
