My mother only wanted me to Learn one Lesson growing up...
Otherwise, I\'ll end up heartbroken in my mother\'s arms while she shakes her head and asks me if I\'ll ever Learn my lesson..
I have to.
And I can definitely do it all without catching feelings.
I can explore my sexuality with the hottest goalie on earth and still remain one-hundred percent professional.
I\'m a grown woman.
I can do this.
But Will agrees to teach me everything I\'ve always wanted to learn, and I\'m all too eager to be his student.
I still need a paycheck and for my matriarchy to not disown me.
He still needs a nanny.
When the tension becomes too much, we break, and we make a deal.
And though I know my mother would lose her mind if she knew, my dreams have become midnight fantasies about my long-haired, muscle-lined mystery of a boss.
But in that house, I feel his heated gaze beneath that permanent scowl, the way it lingers and warms my skin.
I\'m only focused on using this new income to pay back my student loans.
He\'s impossibly grumpy and focused on only two things: hockey, and taking care of his daughter.
But temporary turns to permanent, and when I move into his pool house, everything changes.
Then, in a twist of events, his temporary nanny.
Starting goalie for the Tampa Bay Ospreys and the kind of hot that scrambles Your brain, all I was ever supposed to be to him was his daughter\'s kindergarten teacher.
Until Will Perry blew my quiet world to smithereens.
After my one and only experience with a boy in college fell flatter than a pancake, I realized they were right - and I was content to live the life of a twenty-six-year-old cat lady.
Being raised by her and my grandmother, I was surrounded by the reminder to be independent and guard my heart.
Her father left her, and then my father left us.
Men are trash.
