Needing the Next-Door Neighbor

My next-door neighbor, Ryan Rosche, is pretty much the perfect guy.



He's a freaking doctor, for one.



Humble...



Mature (Did I mention he's eleven years older than me?) ...



And flat-out gorgeous.



If only he wasn't also ... my boss.



Look, if I wasn't the nanny to his nieces, I'd be all. over. that.



But I'm in the middle of a personal crisis of sorts-a recent move, a public breakup, a foiled career-not to mention beholden to a successful CEO grandmother who is withholding my trust fund until I can become "respectable" in a way my mother never was.



Falling for my boss-blurring those lines-is just the sort of thing my mother would have done.



And I refuse to be anything like Pippa Montgomery.



Besides, even if it was respectable to date my boss, a hot mess like me could never hope to land this guy whose life is 100% together.



Someone like him could never want someone like me. Not long term, anyway. And I'm tired of being discarded.



But when I move into Ryan's house to make my job easier, and ignite the chemistry of late-night reality TV watching, meal sharing, and helping him raise his nieces, how am I supposed to resist the good doctor's charms?



It seems inevitable. This man is just a heartbreak waiting to happen...



Fans of Jenny Proctor and Emma St. Clair will love this closed-door, age gap, forced proximity, boss/nanny romantic comedy with lots of sizzle and spice, but no on-page explicit content. It follows Kennedy Matkin, Alexis Matkin's younger sister.



¿This is Book 6 in the California Dreamin' series, though each book can stand alone with a complete happily ever after.
