• DERRICK •

When my niece and nephew seem to lose their nanny at the mall, I get a buzz to help with the search. After all, I’m supposed to be the one they’re with…

But I’m at a loss for words when I connect with the angel who’s been watching the little rascals.

Fate seems to be intervening here in some way.

From the angel’s kind demeanor to her innocent smile, I’m hooked.

And when my nephew openly invites the angel to dinner tonight, I can’t suppress the thrill inside at keeping her around.

Though once the meal ends and the kids are gone, I have a decision to make...will I still— can I still be the gentleman I’ve always known myself to be on a first date?

Only the moment will tell.


If you enjoy swoon-worthy men addicted to their woman of interest, you’ll heat up for the bad-boy alphas in my Alpha Billionaires series! In the fifth book of the series, fall in love with Jane and Derrick’s story! *Each book in this series is a short and steamy standalone read.*

His niece and nephew might have instigated things, but our hero is not ready to quit until our heroine knows just what he wants. He can only hope she wants it too.

This is book five of the series but each story is written as a standalone, so no prior reading is required.

The is a short and steamy story with an age-gap theme. The story is well written and easy to read with a fun cast of characters. Both the hero and heroine are well developed and likeable. The kids are a bit mischievous, but that works very well for our couple in this instance. Overall, a highly enjoyable story and I look forward to more in this series.

Highly recommended.

This short romance has a sweet meet cute and a steamy progression. When Jane finds Derrick’s niece and nephew looking for their nanny, it provides the opportunity for these two awesome characters to meet. Derrick is the older and successful businessman. Jane is the much younger woman who the kids instantly fall in love with and invite over for dinner. I loved the interactions between these characters. Their attraction is instantly off the charts and the tension builds until even my kindle was sweating. The ending of their story is a perfection conclusion. I really enjoy these short and steamy reads but I loved this couple so much I’m going to read this book multiple times!!

Age gap older man, young woman, can't fight the attraction...
So enjoyed this well written story. It was cute with his niece & nephew inviting her to dinner, how could he refuse after she had rescued them when their nanny did a disappearing act. There was immediate sizzle between the hero & heroine that was combustible. Would it be a quick fling or so much more. Turns out they were both invested from the get go...swoon! I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Jane and Derrick. These two meet under unusual circumstances. See Derrick's niece & nephew ran into her in the mall and now want their uncle to keep her. Can these two find a HEA or will it just have been a missed moment?

Another amazing hit by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Another good book in the series

Derrick and Jane meet when she's helping his niece and nephew find their lost nanny in the mall. She was employed at a shop in the mall when she found the two kids crying. They ended up inviting her to dinner once they met up with Uncle Derrick. The rest, as they say, was history. It's a cute love story. Kids always make a story for me. Written by Cindy. :)

Older man/younger woman
Jane is at the mall when she spots 2 young children who seem lost. Their uncle Derek finds them and is intrigued by the young woman who found them. The 2 kids invite Jane over for dinner and sparks fly between her and Derek.

I read an ARC via the author and I'm voluntarily choosing to review it.

The author has given us a fast-paced older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Derrick and Jane and does not let go.
