Breaking His Rules

BENJAMIN

For the past two years, I tried ignoring the way my heart thumped in my chest every time I'd see my best friend's daughter. I would never have entertained the idea of Aria watching my kids this summer if I hadn't been so desperate. Besides, it wasn't even my idea. It was her dad's. But I couldn't very well reject his suggestion; not without admitting my attraction to Aria.

Although, given what happened between us in my office, perhaps I should have. Because Aria enjoyed the consequences of breaking my rules. After that, I couldn't seem to keep my hands off her, no matter how hard I tried - and if her dad finds out ... I'm dead!

Because I've broken the oldest bro code out there: don't sleep with your best friend's daughter, don't fall in love with her, and definitely don't get her pregnant.

Last year at college, I had a panic attack that landed me in the hospital, and this summer I was supposed to be taking a mental health break. But when my dad volunteered me to nanny for his best friend's kids over the summer, my anxiety spiked at the idea of being around Benjamin more often.

Because the thing is, Benjamin did crazy things to my insides when we were in the same space together. It was like being on a carb free diet and being denied a piece of velvety chocolate cake over and over again. I was supposed to be getting my anxiety under control, not causing more of it. But when Benjamin called me into his office to reprimand me for breaking his rules, I discovered I had nothing to worry about. In fact, I uncovered the perfect solution to manage my anxiety.

My dad cannot find out about this. The only problem? My baby bump is going to make it difficult to hide our relationship from him forever.

Breaking His Rules is a steamy age-gap, dad's best friend, secret baby contemporary romance. It's a standalone with no cliffhanger, no cheating, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
