Hot Doctor & Single Mom by Lauren Wood

The lavish mansions of Beverly Hills aren’t meant for a broke single mom like me.
But the hot doctor who lives next door? He has me warming up to the idea.
It’s only a temporary housesitting gig that puts me in his vicinity.
How else would I ever meet someone like Dr. Christian Beckett?
Actually, he catches me breaking into the expensive house next to his.
Or at least that’s what he thinks I’m doing.
After forgetting my key, I have no choice but to crawl in through the window.
And he has no choice but to call the cops.
Now I have a big problem on my hands,
But it’s actually not the police or criminal charges.
Christian is nice enough to explain everything to them.
He’s my problem. A six-foot-tall problem with chiseled abs.
A month ago, I never would have imagined sharing a beer with him.
I certainly never expected to fall into his bed.
But now that I have…
We both seem to have a new addiction we can’t get enough of.
Soon, I have to come back down to earth and return to my real life.
Christian seems to think my life should be with him now.
But I’m positive he’s the one who’s going to come to his senses eventually,
And see just how wildly different we are.
I’m a bartender in a sleazy strip club with a run-down one-bedroom apartment.
He’s a famous doctor at one of the most prestigious hospitals in the world.
I can do the math. Why can’t he?
This is all just a fantasy.
One that’s going to have to end sooner or later.
I’m playing a risky game of enjoying it while I can,
And hoping that by the time Christian realizes this can never work –
I haven’t started to believe in a fairytale that doesn’t belong to me.
