It was supposed to be one night. When I spontaneously enlist a super hot customer to play a prank on my cranky boss, it seems like the perfect, momentary distraction from my life’s focus—starting fresh with my son and becoming a nurse. As a single mom, things haven’t been easy. But nothing’s going to stop me from achieving my goals. Especially not this handsome stranger. Which is why we agree never to see each other again. Except, fast-forward six months, and guess who walks through the door? My boss’s brother, Milo Tate—wearing that same devastating smile, like fate’s playing some kind of joke. But I cannot become involved—not with anyone. I refuse to give up my dreams for a man. Besides, love and I? We don’t mix. I can’t fall prey to my family curse, the one that basically ensures that love won’t last—that love’s going to hurt. Too bad Milo is making it his mission to prove me wrong. Just a Distraction is a “he falls first,” different worlds, single mom story with all of the swoon and none of the spice!

Join Deb's newsletter to get the book, Love in Reality, part of the Silver Plum series, totally FREE! https://debgoodmanwrites.com Deb Goodman’s obsession with the written word started at age three, when she realized the old-timey newsprint wallpaper in her family’s bathroom had actual words on it. The only problem? By the time she learned to read a couple of years later, the wallpaper had been replaced with something else—boring, non-worded wallpaper—and to this day, she still doesn’t know what it said. Now, she and her husband and four children live in Utah. They love sports, music, and doing slightly insulting, pretend voices for their little shorkie, Mavis. Deb writes funny, small-town romance that you won’t need to shield your kids’ eyes from. Billionaires, friends-to-more, enemies-to-more, cowboys, fake relationships…there’s something for everyone here! Writing lovey dovey books comes naturally to Deb since, to her, there’s nothing better than reading and writing about how two people fall in love.
