HUDSON I shouldn't be thinking this way about the nanny. Since my wife passed, she was my newborn son's maternal figure. She was everything that he had in the world as I locked myself away from the sun. I shouldn't do it. But I can't help myself.

Here comes Trouble LAILA I’ve always hated him. He’s practically grown up at my house. He eats our food. He swims in our pool. He teases me every day, and I’m hitting a tipping point. Trouble McKane is the no-good, too-handsome god of our college. I wish I never counted the eight ridges of his abs. I wish I never noticed the sharp V that points south. I wish he didn’t haunt my dreams at night. \\\* TROUBLE Every time I go to my best bud’s house, I hope to catch a glimpse of her. I watched her fill out from a skinny nerd into someone who could grace a centerfold. Now that she’s in college, guys are on her like white on rice. My buddy wants me to keep an eye on her. He’s asked a fox to guard a henhouse.

NORA My wild child ways sometimes get me into trouble, but I never expected to wake up married in Vegas. After attending my best friend's wedding, one drink was followed by too many to count. Before I knew it, I woke up next to Chris. CHRIS I'm the kind of guy who hits it and quits it. So why is Nora wearing a rock on her finger? I'd annul our marriage, but I can't find her. And when I do, she'll reveal the secret that she's been keeping...a gift that'll come in nine months. Note: Only read this book if you like steamy scenes.
