In my defense, I had no clue the gorgeous guy I had a wildly steamy night with was my brother’s best friend. Or the single dad of the little girl I was about to nanny.

I hadn’t seen Dr. Owen Fritz since I was twelve and he was twenty-four, but even back then, I didn’t care much about him.

He was doing his billionaire, master-of-the-universe, medical school thing, and I was too into art and books to notice anyone.

Now he’s cold and broody, but he doesn’t scare me the way he does everyone else.

He’s been scarred, but I’ve been scarred worse.

We both promise to leave that night in the past, vowing to keep this secret between us and stay professional from now on.

Especially since I’m living with him—sleeping down the hall from him—and his adorable little girl.

Until one night of hell changes everything and all those promises we’ve been struggling to keep don’t just break, they shatter.

Now there’s no holding him back.

And the more he watches me with those magnetic eyes or whisks me into dark corners and puts his heated hands on my body, the more I forget why what we’re doing is so undeniably forbidden.

We’re playing with an unstoppable fire.

And we’re both about to get burned.

People say that one night stands are just that one-night stands. Owen is a single dad that is in need of a nanny except the one that he’s about it hire is his sister’s best friend and the one he had a one night stand with, he hasn’t be able to stop thinking about her. Estlin has had a crush on Owen since she was younger but now that she’s older she may have a chance? The chemistry they have sparks were flying. Owen is able to open up to Estlin with ease and brought the best out in him. Estlin has had some struggles but is getting her life back on track and spending time in the studio working on her art. Hanging out with Owen she was able to see things that she didn’t before and got the inspiration she needed. Watching them both come out of their shell and see the real them was beautiful. I can’t wait to see who’s next. Also find the name Estlin to be a great unique name.
