Single dad rancher seeking live-in nanny for 9-year-old boy. Must have experience, playful and not looking for a real-life love story. (6 wks only - don't apply if looking for long-term.) Hitting refresh ten times on my search doesn’t help. There cannot be only one job in Hideaway Springs. Not that I won’t take literally anything at this point, but the likelihood of Levi Reeves hiring me is negative zero. And if he does, I’d be sleeping with the horses, not his house! Or he’d call the police and “finally arrest” the town Rogue for all her misdemeanors. But that doesn’t stop me from knocking on his door. Besides, his grumpy scowls are easy to tune out when my eyes keep drifting to the rugged edges of his face and sculpted physique. I’m hired with a clear understanding that one: he’s desperate and two: he’s got his eye on me. And eventually, his hands too. Because come nightfall, we drop more than our animosity. Our clothes. Before the hot summer days turn to crisp autumn nights, he’s claimed me as his. And as hard as I’d fallen, my six weeks are up. He may have every intention of making me stay, but my past is a reality I can never escape. And I love them both too much to bring trouble to their home. The Rogue is the 3rd book in the Hideaway Springs series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. * No Cliffhangers. HEA Guarantees * less
