About THE OVERTIME KISS (Coming 6/18/2025):
Just what every bride dreams of—running straight from her cheating fiancé into the arms of a hot hockey star… and then getting hired as his kids’ nanny.
Tyler Falcon is protective, flirtatious…and frustratingly responsible.
We almost did something reckless when he found me alone in my wedding dress, and I blurted out all the things I’d never truly experienced.
Now, the sexy single dad is saving me again with a job I desperately need—and a promise to never mention The Night of 1001 Confessions.
I live in his house. Take care of his kids. Pretend I don’t notice his heated gaze lingering on me after they fall asleep.
Until one night, the tension snaps.
Now we have a deal. Five lessons in seduction. No strings attached.
But he’s not just good in bed. He spoils me with thoughtful gifts and supports my dreams. For the first time, I feel like I belong.
Except…this was never meant to last. I’m his employee. He has kids to protect. And neither of us can afford to make a mistake.
The more nights we spend tangled up together though, the harder it is to pretend it’s just physical. Because I’m not only falling for my boss—I’m falling for the man whose kids have stolen my heart.
Tropes: single dad/nanny, runaway bride, forced proximity, spicy lessons, she's his daughter's skating coach, confession of all secrets, love notes, found family

Sabrina
“I’m a virgin to good sex. And I want good sex.” Then, I give him my best come-hither pout—lips parted slightly, one shoulder bobbing coquettishly. Look at me go! I must radiate sex appeal right now. “I’m pretty sure you could do it right. I have this whole fantasy that starts with your beard.”
His eyes flicker. His lips twitch. “That’s awfully specific.”
Heat shimmers between us. I step closer. “I keep thinking about how it’d feel. I keep wondering, too, about those arms,” I say, my gaze drifting to his biceps, visible in his tight polo. “How you could pin me down. I wonder about your mouth. I think I’m obsessed with it.”
He winces, then shakes his head.
Shoot. I’ve crossed a line with a student’s dad. But then, maybe even against his better judgment, he asks, “How obsessed?”
My knees buckle. I’m hot everywhere. “I can’t stop thinking about how you might kiss me.” I take another step closer in my mismatched slides. “Everywhere.”
And I wait. This time, though, he doesn’t make me suffer. He closes the distance between us, lifts a big hand, and cups my cheek.
I gasp.
Dear god, the feel of his hand on me. It’s unreal. Warm and strong, everything I want. I lean into his touch, lit up from the electricity sparking between us.
He slides a thumb along my cheekbone, up and down, like he’s memorizing me. Then, one more small step, and he dips his head closer.
I sway.
I’m falling closer to him when his lips dust across my forehead.
The gasp that escapes me is both carnal and innocent, like his kiss.
Then, he lets go, scoops me up, and lays me down on the bed.

#Excerpt
Sabrina
He’s drilling. I repeat—my hot, single-dad boss is drilling. I might as well strip out of all my clothes right now. Instead, as I hold the bookshelf against the wall, he drills holes in the brackets. He’s inches from me, and his woodsmoke scent taunts me, curling past my nose and drifting into my mind.
I swallow roughly as his arm vibrates from the drill.
Pretty sure I vibrate too.
His body is so close. I let myself stare freely—the way the muscles in his corded forearms flex, how his biceps move, how his shirt clings to him.
His focus is intense, his eyes narrowed on the bracket on the second shelf, since he already hung one. A few more seconds pass, then he turns off the drill and shifts his gaze to me.
His hazel eyes radiate hopefulness but also pride, as he asks, “What do you think?”
Like he wants me to like it.
But news flash: I love it. And what I really think is that I was today years old when I discovered my new guilty pleasure: hot dad capableness. Yum.
“I think it looks…well hung,” I say before I even consider the words leaving my mouth. The second I do, I slam my palm over my lips. I should not be allowed to speak sometimes. Where does this part of me even come from? Little Miss Perfectionist Sabrina never blurted out her dirty thoughts when she was with F*&k Chad.
Tyler blinks. Once. Twice. But when he clears his throat, he’s no longer caught off guard—he’s in control. “It is, Sabrina. It is,” he says, his voice low and amused as he pats the shelf. “Sturdy. Want to give it a tug?”
My heart beats too fast. He’s playing with me, and I love it. “Yes,” I croak out.
I reach for the shelf, grab it, and yank. Yep. This shelf does not lose its strength at all. When I let go, I scramble for something appropriate to say but completely fail. Instead, I blurt, “Chad was never handy. I like handy.”
“Well, that works out for both of us, doesn’t it?” Tyler’s charm flashes, teasing, a little flirty—but never quite crossing the line.
“It does.”
