Strictly business…or is it?
Air force pilot Levi Lambert has
seen plenty of danger—but his infant daughter might be the death of him.
Fortunately, Levi’s found the answer to his sleep-deprived prayers: his
next-door neighbor! Carly Gilmore is willing to be his nanny…until a small
white lie turns their arrangement from business to very personal. The
fake engagement was intended to keep Levi from losing custody of his baby girl,
but is causing all sorts of new problems. Not only does Carly attract trouble
like bees to honey, but there’s the little matter of Levi’s smokin’-hot attraction
to her. The last thing he needs is to fall in love…

EXCERPT:
How
exactly did he manage to look like sex on a stick at the end of a long day? He
had this whole badass look going on, late-afternoon scruffiness over his
jawline, making her want to rub against him like a cat.
Bad, bad Carly. “I wanted to talk to you
about something anyway.”
“Oh,
yeah. I haven’t had a whole lot of luck finding another sitter. I’ll make a few
calls tonight.” He followed her into the family room.
“That’s
not it. I need a favor.”
“Done.”
“You
don’t even know what it is yet.”
He
gave her an easy smile. “Doesn’t matter.”
“Be
careful, Levi Lambert. You never know what I might ask.”
“Bring
it on.” His eyes filled with obvious male appreciation.
She
was reminded of her bare legs. The look he slid her was so full of heat that
she thought her panties might spontaneously burst into flames. Focus, Carly, focus.
“I
want to put photos of Grace on my website. I took some cute ones today.” She
took her phone out and showed them to him. Shots of Grace staring with delight
at a tree as if she’d just discovered them. Smiling as she watched a child
playing ball, staring wide-eyed at a woman walking her poodle down the street.
“You
took her to the park. She loves it there.” Levi didn’t take the phone from her,
but instead held her wrist and brought the phone up closer.
Her
stupid wrist tingled as if it thought it might be about to have a good time.
She cleared her throat. “I know. Just look at this one. I think she noticed a
cloud for the first time.”
He
grinned, still holding her wrist. “Nah, she saw one last week.”
“Right.
So…is it okay if I put her photos up? She’s an adorable baby.”
“Fine
with me.”
“Don’t
worry. I’ll never share her real name with my readers. And no one has any idea
that the company is based in Fortune. My mother took great precautions to
protect our privacy.”
“I
trust you.” His big, rough hand slid from her wrist to her elbow, and the
tingle traveled.
“Thank
you.” She stared at his lips, willing him to kiss her. “The trust
is…important.”
“Extremely.”
That
talented hand now settled on her waist and pulled her closer. And somehow her
hands were squeezing his biceps and she went up on the balls of her feet to get
closer still. He kissed her long and deep, his hot, wet tongue insistent. It
got wild and crazy as her hands fisted his shirt and his hands palmed her ass.
“Levi.”
She broke off from the kiss, breathless. “We probably shouldn’t do this. It’s
not…a good idea.”
He
pressed his forehead to hers. “You’re right.”
Great.
He agreed with her. “It’s stupid.”
“Yeah.”
He tugged her in tighter and kissed her again. And again.
She
threaded her fingers through his hair and moaned into his mouth.
And
they continued to be crazy stupid for the next hour.
