The single dad next door is my biggest temptation.

 

After I accidentally plow my car into Nick Silva’s bumper, I can’t blame him for not hiring me to be his daughter’s nanny, but I’m still salty about it. I need the money to go on a trip of a lifetime, one my ex didn’t want me to take.

 

The worst part is Nick just moved in next door.

 

I’m sure he associates me with my dirtbag ex—his former teammate—so I try to avoid my neighbor whenever possible.

 

But when his new babysitter gets locked out of the house, leaving Nick’s four-year-old alone inside, I attempt to rescue her by breaking in through a window.

 

Unfortunately, I have a wardrobe malfunction and end up flashing my goodies to the whole neighborhood, Nick included.

 

Because of my embarrassing heroics, Nick’s now convinced I’d be a great nanny. 

 

The trouble with football players is they’re very persuasive, so I agree to take the job but immediately regret it. 

 

Who needs to see a gorgeous, shirtless man jumping rope and doing push-ups in gray sweatpants? Who wants to watch a sexy, single dad snuggle his little girl and read her bedtime stories? Who enjoys working closely with a walking, talking thirst trap every single day?

 

Fine. I do. I want all of that, but I already swore I’d never date another jock after the last one stomped all over my heart, so this bookworm needs to play it safe.

 

But rumor has it Nick has a new girlfriend, which helps me maintain appropriate boundaries. 

 

Because I won’t be blindsided by another quarterback again.
