A Small Town, Single Dad, Nanny, Age Gap Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.


Winnie Smith is the perfect nanny.


She’s reliable, warm, and my daughter adores her.


She cooks like a pro, styles pigtails like a fairy godmother, and knows her way around a car engine better than most mechanics.


She’s made life easier.


The house feels full again.


And maybe… so do I.


But living under the same roof has its challenges.


Like catching her in the kitchen after midnight… barefoot, in tiny sleep shorts, eating ice cream straight from the tub.


Don’t even get me started on the way that her lips wrapped around that spoon.


I digress.


It shouldn’t mean anything.


She’s a decade younger. I’m her boss.


She’s off-limits.


And yet, it’s all I can think about.


I was just looking for a nanny—not nightly cold showers and definitely not feelings.


But the more we blur the lines, the harder it is to keep pretending.


We say it’s temporary. No strings. Just one harmless arrangement.


But what if she’s not just what my daughter needs…


What if she’s exactly what I’ve been missing too?

Taj Blackman knows a thing or two about responsibility. As the new CEO of Blackman Boards, he intends to carry on the legacy his father built with dignity.

It’s that mindset that leaves him unable to neglect the duty he feels in other aspects of his life. Like with a specific someone.

Olivia Thomas.

Taj never expected to see the supermodel in his small hometown, especially not in her wedding gown.

But when Olivia appears, desperate for his help, Taj can’t turn her away.

Using everything he’s learned from the man who entrusted a multi-million-dollar company to him, Taj is honored to take on a new responsibility that’s worth far more than money could ever buy.

BLURB:

In the game of love, it’s hard to level the playing field when your opponent is the one who got away.

I was nine years old when I claimed Charlie King as mine. We were in love — high school sweethearts — until one devastating day when it all fell apart.

Two years later, she’s back in my life and needs a place to live. Sure, she’s infuriating, and her kissable smart mouth keeps me on my toes, but her being in my space falls into my plan to get her back.

Charlie doesn’t want anything to do with me but I’ll be damned if I let her walk out of my life again. Even if it means the dark secrets of my past will come rushing back to haunt us both.

When we’re down to the wire, it’s time to make a counter play and win my girl back for good.

I’ve poured everything I have into Wildhaven Ranch—ever since Mom died, I’ve done my best to hold this family together. My sisters, my dad, my grandparents… this land is who we are. There’s no room for mistakes—and definitely no time for falling for the enemy.

Then he shows up.

Caison Galloway. New manager of the neighboring ranch. Smooth talker. Knows exactly how to push every one of my buttons. He’s here to win, and I can’t let him get close—no matter how much heat simmers between us when we’re alone.

But the more I fight him, the more I start to wonder: what if the storm I’ve been bracing for… is already here?

Blurb:

He’s sixty-two. She’s twenty-three. Is it just a love affair or could it be forever?

Landry had always imagined at the age of sixty-two that he would be rocking his grandchildren and enjoying a life of retirement.

Life has a funny way of disrupting your plans, and Landry just hired a twenty-three-year-old single mother as his assistant who seems to do just that… stand in the way of his plans.

He’s raised his three children to adulthood. He’s supposed to be settled down. However, he can’t seem to get Tennessee Bradley out of his head.

She consumes his every waking thought.

She’s too young for him.

Far too young.

Except, she’s everything he thought that he could never have in a partner. She’s soft, gentle, caring, and kind.

Is it just a fantasy, or could she be his future?

Why you will love this book:

๐Ÿ’–Small Town
๐Ÿ’–Friends to Lovers
๐Ÿ’–Second Chance
๐Ÿ’–Returning Home

๐Ÿ’–Slow Burn
๐Ÿ’–Found Family
๐Ÿ’–Community Healing
๐Ÿ’–Mutual Pining
๐Ÿ’–Golden Retriever Hero
๐Ÿ’–Everyday Intimacy





In the delightfully nosy town of Whynot, North Carolina, secrets and sweet tea never stay cold for long. When sparks fly between two locals—one returning home and one with secrets to hide—the gossip mill isn’t the only thing turning up the heat.

Penny Pritchard thought she’d traded in small-town chatter for political banter when she left to build a big career in Washington, D.C. But when her beloved Aunt Muriel needs help running Central Cafรฉ—the local hotspot for gossip, grits, and good intentions—Penny comes home with a suitcase full of high heels and denial about just how much she’s missed this place.

Enter Sam-Pete Rochelle, the easygoing bartender at Chesty’s with a smile that could make a girl forget her rules and a secret bigger than the town itself. Everyone thinks he’s just the guy pouring whiskey and fixing the jukebox. No one suspects he’s actually a wildly popular, very rich, and very anonymous author of steamy fantasy romance novels.

When the truth is revealed and it’s time for Sam to stop hiding behind his pen name, Whynot loses its collective mind. The church ladies are clutching their pearls, Floyd’s hosting a “Banned Books & Bourbon” club, and the mayor’s calling an emergency meeting about moral decay. And Penny? Penny is learning firsthand that Sam doesn’t just talk the talk where his books are concerned. Sam excels at walking the walk, if you know what I mean.

Now, Penny is torn between her two worlds. Does she go back to the career that provides a sense of fulfillment and purpose or stay in the small town with the man who writes about epic love stories and might just be her own real-life happily ever after?

A laugh-out-loud, heart-swoony friends-to-lovers romance about second chances, southern charm, and finding the courage to write your own story—one rumor at a time.

I always swore I’d never settle down. I didn’t want a family or responsibilities beyond my own needs. Life was easier and a lot more fun when you kept things casual.


But Rosalie Masters made a liar out of me.


As one of my sister’s best friends, we’ve known each other for years. A single mom pretty enough to turn every head in town—including my own—I never imagined she’d be interested in knocking boots with this cowboy.


Boy, was I wrong.


What started as a week of secret hook ups and re-creating scenes from her favorite spicy books, quickly becomes something I can’t live without.


She’s prim and proper.


I’m rugged and rough.


We could not be more opposite if we tried.


But her brilliant mind and naughty side have lassoed my attention. And her tender heart—the one she doesn’t let most people close enough to witness—makes it impossible to leave her alone.


For the first time in my life, I’ve fallen for someone I can’t get out of my system. Wild horses couldn’t drag me away from this woman. The problem is I don’t know how I’ll convince her to let me stay.
