This is more than just lust and crazy attraction. Lying in Aiden's arms, I feel safe-and that's really saying something for someone like me. It's one of my favorite things about us. Except there is no us. And as I drift off I promise myself there never will be. To protect myself, keep my heart firmly out of reach. Even if I know I won't be able to resist kissing him again. Parker: I want my boss. Bad. Aiden is sexy, confident, and the way he makes me feel? It's mind-shattering. Perhaps literally because I feel like lose myself around him. The attraction reminds me of the early days with my ex, and I can't risk myself like that again. Not to mention there's the whole boss-nanny bit. His niece and nephew need me. I can't hurt them. I can't let Aiden hurt me. I also can't keep my hands off him. Aiden: I want my niece and nephew's nanny. Bad. Parker is beautiful, capable, and uptight. Or, at least, she's uptight until we start fooling around. After that? She's mind-blowing. Our connection is amazing. I've never felt anything like it. I want more with her, but Parker can't get away from me fast enough. She's worried about my niece and nephew. She's rebuilding her life. She doesn't trust herself. That's okay though because I trust this thing between us. And I've always enjoyed a challenge. * Author's Note: Deeper Than Temptation is a steamy, standalone romance. Happily ever after guaranteed!
