Synopsis

This grumpy hero makes things hard for the nanny.

You know what? I’m over him. 

His moods. 

The verbal sparring. 

Those biceps that look like they were cut from marble. 

Okay, maybe I’m not over him being shirtless. 

Chase Marshall is a single dad with a daughter to love, so fighting with me shouldn’t be a priority. But he can’t seem to stay away. 

The lingering looks when he thinks I’m not watching.

The seemingly innocent touches while making breakfast.

The smirks gracing his lips after I’m irritated by his antics. 

He’s ridiculously sweet to his daughter. I even catch glimpses of how charming he could be to me—if he wanted to. 

But that’s the problem. He acts like he doesn’t want to. That he doesn’t want me. 

He does. It’s in the innuendos, the way he places his hand in the small of my back—the almost kisses while we’re putting away groceries. The way he comes running when I see a spider and checks on me before he goes to bed. Even if he does grumble about it. 

I might not be totally over my boss, but I’m going to make him think I am.  

Let’s see how frustrated Mr. Marshall gets now.
