Synopsis:
Hollywood bad boy Brad Sinclair always gets his way, whether itโs the role he wants or the bikini-clad model he has to have. But when a bombshell gets dropped in his lap in the form of a dimpled five-year-old from a forgotten relationship, he knows his life is about to change forever.
Cara DuMont isnโt exactly thrilled when she gets assigned to be the nanny for the latest box-office king. She has one rule: no celebrity fathers, especially single ones with devilish good looks and rock-hard abs.
But as soon as Cara meets Brad and his adorable little girl, she knows sheโs in for a world of trouble. Because thereโs something about the way Brad looks at her that makes her believe that some rules are meant to be brokenโฆ
Excerpt:
He was tapping on my bedroom window. It was 2:17 in the morning.
I got out of bed, dressed in sweatpants and black T-shirt and slapped the window open. He practically fell through it, adorable in his wet tuxedo and red eyes.
โYouโre drunk.โ
โI like you. I want you to like me.โ
โGo to bed.โ
He leaned back out the window, paused. โDo you like me?โ
โAgainst my better judgment, I do.โ
โOkay.โ
He was so drunk he could barely stand.
โPlease go to bed.โ
He gave me a salute and walked right through a sprinkler, toward the front house. I closed the window. Brad was lying in the grass face down, arms and legs in a big X, getting sprinkled on.
I could leave him out there.
I could, he deserved it. But I couldnโt.
I put on sneakers and a hoodie and went outside. He was face-first in a mud puddle. The sprinklers had shut off.
โBrad?โ
He didnโt move. I pulled his arm until he was on his back, then pulled both wrists and pulled forward. If Iโm making it sound easy, it wasnโt. I slipped and fell in wet grass, and grunted like a tennis player. But I got him to sitting. Half his gorgeous face was dotted with mud.
โBrad?โ
No answer. I slapped him. Nothing. Slapped again, harder. He groaned.
Then I pulled my arm back and really hauled off and whacked him.
โOw.โ
โYou have to wake up. I canโt carry you.โ
โThat hurt.โ
I crouched, getting my shoulder under his arm.
โOkay, Iโm going to count to three. On three, stand up.โ
โDo you know youโre beautiful?โ
โOne.โ
โAnd you smell like a fruit cup.โ
โTwo.โ
He looked at me, the weight of his head tilting his face at an angle to mine.
โYouโre the queen of the house.โ
โThree.โ
We lurched up. Took a step left. Adjusted. Stood steady.
โCan I just sleep here?โ
โNo. Nicole isnโt going to find your drunk ass on the lawn in the morning. Lean on me.โ
We took one step forward, then two. I held his wrist with one hand and his waist with the other. The front of his tuxedo shirt was brown with mud. I got wet wherever his clothes touched me.
โDo you have fantasies, ever?โ He hopped onto a new subject as if it was completely natural.
โLike about what?โ I asked. His arm around me, his breath soft in my ear. Even his dependence was kind of a fantasy.
โYou know what bothers me about fantasies?โ
โWatch this chair here. Whoa.โ I pulled him left, narrowly missing tripping over a lounger.
โYou never know if youโre getting it right,โ he said.
I turned to him and found his eyes taking up my entire field of vision and my nose two inches from his.
โLike when I fantasize about fucking you.โ
We almost tripped on the entrance. I swallowed my lungs, stomach, and heart in one gulp. He was drunk. He didnโt mean it. He never thought about fucking me.
Not Brad Sinclair.
He was my boss.

About the Author
CD Reiss is a New York Times bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn't pick up she's at the well hauling buckets.
Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master's degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.
She's frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn't ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood.
If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.
