The Bossy One by Leslie North

Posted September 9, 2023 by Marsha in 2023 New Release Challenge, ARC, Booksprout ARC, Contemporary Romance, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance, Standalone Single Title / 0 Comments

WANTED: Nanny who will put up with an infuriatingly grumpy Irish billionaire.

If you throw an Irish billionaire out of a plane at 40,000 feet, would he fly?  That’s the question I asked myself when Declan Bryne basically told me that it’d be “grand if I could stop talking.”

I can’t help it. I’m a nervous flyer.  But that should’ve been my sign to hit EJECT!  Because this is doomed to fail.

He’s a total grump.  He obviously doesn’t like me.  He’s too distractingly gorgeous to be around for any length of time.  And he’s made it clear that as soon as he can find another nanny, I’m gone.

But this Minnesota girl is made of tough stuff. I know I can make it through one Irish summer with one sexy Irish curmudgeon.

At least, I thought I could until he became that much harder to resist.  The way he is around his niece, Catie, is Hallmark-worthy.  The more I work for Declan, the more I realize there’s something growing between us…an attraction that’s impossible to resist.  Declan hides a kind heart behind his stormy, gruff demeanor.  And that accent.  That suave Irish brogue makes my insides melt.

The cardinal rule of being a nanny is to not get involved with the family.  To maintain a professional distance.  Sleeping with Declan would definitely cross that line.

Some rules are meant to be kept.  Others are meant to be shattered.

Between keeping his brothers in line and looking after Lockhart Bend, Sheriff Trevor Wild has enough on his plate. But he can’t pass up the chance to get close to the town’s newest resident, Marianne Stanton. She’s as delicious as the beer she brews… But as stubborn as a hangover.

She won’t sway from her plans to revitalize the town’s beloved honky tonk. But the more time he spends with her, the more he begins to come around to her way of thinking. Maybe Lockhart Bend is ready for a new honky tonk, and maybe its sheriff is finally ready for love…

Single mother Rachel has enough on her plate with two rambunctious twin boys to raise. Still mourning her husband, she isn’t looking for romance—until Chance, a strikingly handsome ex-FBI agent shows up at her door.

But love? She’s not sure she’s ready for that…

No two ways about it… Chance is enthralled by Rachel. She’s everything he’s ever wanted in a woman.

Never mix business with pleasure…

Klutzy, adorable Brianna Daughtry is nothing like the women Trent Caldwell is usually attracted to. The handsome, cold-hearted billionaire goes for bimbos and eye candy who look good on his arm, women who won’t make a fuss when things end. But Brianna, his new temporary assistant, is nothing like that at all…

She’s the sort of woman who can make a man’s heart beat faster. And make him wish he were a different man…a better man. The type of woman Trent usually avoids at all costs. Except, he can’t. And even if he could, his heart doesn’t want to…

Brianna can’t believe someone like Trent could be remotely attracted to her. But she can’t deny that his smoldering looks, his lingering touches, and his intoxicating kisses tell her otherwise. Yes, he’s maddeningly overbearing and arrogant. But somehow, the alpha businessman has a sweet side as well.

Even with Trent’s old nemesis casting a shadow over their happiness, it seems her dreams of forever may come true. Until a devastating turn of events threatens to tear everything they’ve built apart…
