Bossed By The Grumpy Pixie by Mary Auclair

A single mom does not fall for the nanny. Especially when she’s a business owner, and a pixie running on spite, chocolate, and weaponized caffeine. I don’t have time for feelings. I barely have time for sleep.
After one too many childcare disasters, I’m officially out of options. Enter Noah Mercer with his movie star looks.

Noah is tall, patient, and annoyingly perfect for the job. He moves into my tiny basement apartment, charms both my kids in a single afternoon, and has my entire disaster of a life running smooth within a week. He handles my snark without flinching, my chaos without complaining, and my daughter’s teenage meltdowns like he was born for it.
He’s also so unfairly gorgeous that it’s driving me to distraction. And by the way his gaze lingers when he thinks I’m not looking, I’m pretty sure the feeling is mutual.
Which would be amazing… if I weren’t his boss.

A freshly divorced pixie does not hook up with the manny. Not when when falling for him could wreck the only stable thing in her kids’ lives.
But the longer he stays, the harder it gets to remember the rules.
No staring. No fantasizing. Definitely no falling in love.
