What is it about those chunky lab-rat shoes that make my heart quiver? Maria Things are going off the rails for I'm a single mom with student loans and bills to pay, my father is in the hospital, and my son needs supervision that I can't afford. Then along comes his science teacher. He's smart, kind, handsome, and just the right amount of nerdy. A relationship isn't really on my maxed-out radar, but Mr. Hambrick meets me more than halfway. Is it worth exposing my heart when so many things have my attention? Nick When Maria walks into parent conferences alone, I can't believe my luck. She's beautiful, sure. But it's clear that she loves her son immensely and is struggling, something I saw my own single mother do. I'm compelled to help her but also desperately want a relationship. But will she let me into her life? If you enjoy a short and steamy romance, look no further. It has a HEA and will appeal to fans of Hope Ford, Mia Brody, Cassie Mint, or Liz Fox. This is the sixth in the Short & Sexy Tales of Oceanview series, but can standalone as well. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and always a happily ever after!
