Manny for Hire

2019

Ali Jones liked to think she could do it all, but being a single mom had started taking a toll on her. Something had to give. Calling the nanny service, Helping Hands, was the first step, but instead of getting a nanny, they sent her a hot as sin manny with abs she could wash her clothes on. Zach Thomas wasn’t the kind of man who squelched on a bet. That’s why he would swallow his pride, hang up his construction belt, and be a manny for a week. He ran a successful business where his crews knew he was boss. He figured it wouldn’t be hard to get the hot new mom to follow directions too. Ali could tell that Zach didn’t have a clue, but when she realized the attraction she felt wasn’t one sided, she threw caution to the wind. It didn’t matter if he couldn’t vacuum to save his life, he was great at messing up the sheets. She wasn’t looking for anything permanent, so what was the harm in having a little fling with the manny? Warning: This book contains an over the top story of a single mom, a contractor turned manny, and his huge \ahem\ aptly named Big John. There are also balls...bowling balls.

Manny for Love

2019

Bri Becker was the single mom with the kid everyone avoided. As a widower, it wasn’t easy to find help, especially when babysitters everywhere had her on a blacklist. Moving back home to Paradise was supposed to be a step in the right direction. Her family was going to help so she could finally make a better life for her and her son. When her brother ended up in the hospital, all those plans went out the window. Yale Walker was a man who did what he wanted when he wanted. Sometimes that included who he wanted too. He wasn’t the kind of guy who made bets and didn’t follow through. That’s why he’d give up his flipping gig for a week and play manny. He saw how it worked out for his friend, and he was hoping for the same, minus the married part. Opening the door to her savoir, Brie finds her brother’s best friend, the guy who she’s been fantasizing about since she was a teen. With one cheese nickname after another, Brie realizes there’s no way he could feel the same, though, and getting through their time together won’t be easy when all she wants to do is act out some of the dirty things she’s been thinking about. Warning: This book contains a single mom who needs a nap, a brother who stages an intervention, and a wobbly sword that ends up in the weapons bucket.

Teaching her Heart

2019

Fiona Grey was certain she was going to fail. In her class, life, guys, it didn’t matter, she wasn’t good at any of it. She had all but given up hope when her friend set her up with a tutor to help her out. Utah Richardson had abs of steel and arms to match, but he also had a big thick...brain. Taking off his clothes wasn’t his only expertise. When Fiona needs a tutor to help her graduate business school Utah vowed to get dressed and help her pass the test, even if that meant taking off his clothes. When Fiona’s past comes back to haunt her, she’s certain the only way to get past it is to continue on like she had, shutting herself off from the world. Utah isn’t about to let that happen. If there’s one thing he’s learned, it’s that there’s nothing you can’t do with a little hard work and a good plan. Warning: This book goes to prove you can’t judge a book by its cover. Between a male stripper who’s getting his doctorate, and a girl who is one question away from the G-string coming off (please get the question right!), the Forrest Gump saying is true. You never know what you’ll get.

Falling for the Nanny

2020

Khloe Davis needed a job in the worst way. After being fired for sending an email saying her boss had a micro \ahem,\ she’d do anything to keep her new one happy. Even break traffic laws to get there in time. Parker Balls got it done in the boardroom, but his homelife resembled a business deal gone south. He loved being a dad, but finding a good nanny proved difficult. With a call to Helping Hands he’d have the best in-home childcare in the area, but he doesn’t expect to see her on his doorstep, the woman he fired for insulting his not-so-micro \ahem\. When the pair finally bury the hatchet, the worst should be behind them. But not everyone is happy to see them together. When these two enemies become lovers not everyone is on board. Warning: This book contains hot role playing, a knife-wielding secretary, and a man who smells like a dragon slayer fresh from the woods (he does not have a micro \ahem\). Once you open this one, you’ll be swept away by Balls... Parker Balls.
