Heartstrings : A Single Dad Small Town Spicy Cowboy Romance

by Kes Winter

I knew I’d have my hands full being a nanny for Walker Rhodes: country music star, rugged cowboy, and hot-as-sin single dad.
Our sizzling chemistry is instant and too hot to handle. So he makes the rules clear: he's my boss. I'm off limits.
Except he loses his mind when he finds out I've never been touched by any other man.
He acts like my innocence is his to protect. Like I'm his to claim.
I’m a good girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Gruff cowboys with filthy mouths and a possessive streak are trouble and I know it.
But I’m learning there’s a softer side to him. He takes care of me without thinking. His walls drop when it’s just us. He’s a gentle, patient, loving dad to his little boy.
This is supposed to be temporary. No strings. When summer’s gone, so am I.
Only Walker holds me like he wants forever instead...
