I'm 10k words into Temptation. I had a hard time coming up with a title for this one. It's vague, but it does the story justice.

Cassie Miller gets financially cut off from her parents. She's 24 and drops out of medical school, but wants to continue her education. She accepts a full time nanny job which caters to her college schedule perfectly. How hard can it be to watch a six year old? The kid isn't the problem. The problem is his very attractive, very smart, very successful mother, Brook Wellington.

I'm going to have fun with this book coming off of 3 books back-to-back that covered heavy topics - mass shooting, anxiety, and a plane crash. This one will be sexually charged with minimal angst. It covers age gap (14 years), rich / poor, main character with a child, boss / employee, and other fun topics that readers enjoy.

Temptation is everywhere around us. I'm dropping this character into a situation where she is tempted daily. Not just sexually, but just in life. She's a dreamer. What if this happens? What if that happens?

I like this girl. She's respectful, but she has sexual desires about her boss and isn't afraid to mentally daydream about Brook. We've all done it. Maybe not be attracted to our bosses, but constantly think about somebody in our lives that we know we shouldn't think about sexually. That's the beauty of our thoughts. They are ours. We keep them bottled up and hidden inside. Sometimes we blurt them out because we hope that there's a chance, but most of the time we keep our secret longings to ourselves. Nobody wants to tip the apple cart until we are guaranteed a happy ending or outcome. Very few people take that chance. Even fewer people are successful.

The older we get, the deeper our roots are, and the harder it is to break free. Life is about chances and missed opportunities. Either we take them, or we don't. There's no in-between. Both of my characters will be faced with choices they either take or walk away from. Will they be risk takers? Will they understand true sacrifice? Will they be selfish? Or will they let go in hopes that love returns? I'm excited to see their story unfold.
