Doctor Heartless

<p><strong>He's cruel. Insufferably attractive. And broken beyond redemption. </strong></p><p>After the nightmare I just ran from those details should have made him the perfect storm of do not touch. Except I didn't know any of this-other than the attractive part-when I met him. </p><p>Our story started on a lie. </p><p>He pretended to be someone else and I didn't ask a lot of questions. Nor did I try to stop him when he snuck out of my hotel room in the wee hours of the morning. I was determined to start my new life on an uptick and a wild one-night with a hot stranger felt like just the ticket. </p><p>Only I should have known something that good wouldn't end that easy. </p><p>On my first night in my new house our paths cross again when I discover he's my new neighbor. No longer the charming man I met in the bar he's a grump completely unfriendly and utterly intolerable. As if this couldn't get any worse I quickly learn I'm also his daughter's new teacher. </p><p>A wonderful daughter I can't help but fall in love with. </p><p>Something I refuse to do with him. Our button-pushing back and forth never fails to get under my skin. If anything his sudden off-limits status makes resisting this devil of a single dad that much easier. </p><p>Regardless of the temptation he presents. How searing his heated gaze is when I catch him staring. Or how breathless our stolen moments leave us. </p><p>After all this is the fresh start I so desperately need and I will not let anything get in my way.</p><p>No. I can't give in to Doctor Heartless. No matter how hard he tries to change my mind.</p>
