Lonesome Heart

<p><strong style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>I'm crushing on my boss. An older single-dad grump who walked out on me the day we met. Still every time he enters a room my pulse races. How long can I pretend our relationship is strictly professional?</strong></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>I'm not like most people my age. Instead of partying my weekends away or applying for the next coolest internships I travel the world with families seeking new adventures. After I met with a famous music manager I agreed to join Sam Stevens a country music legend who has forfeited his career after his wife left him with his two young daughters without an explanation on tour for six months. Our first encounter is nothing like I imagined. He's broody rude merciless and seems to hate my guts. Not only does he walks out on me but he gives me attitude I don't deserve. Being almost ten years older than me doesn't give him an excuse to be arrogant. What Sam doesn't know is that I don't forfeit easily. And I won't let him intimidate me because I'm not missing out on the opportunity of adding this new work experience to my resume. His daughters are adorable and have him wrapped around their fingers. When he's with them a softer side of him that appeals to me emerges.</span></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Luckily for me I'm here for the job. And the experience. Not to fall in love.</strong></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The more we learn to co-exist together the more sides of him I see. Unguarded more human and less grumpy versions of him that grow on me. Long stares hands touching we can't seem to move out of each other's energy field. I know better. The attraction searing between us is just a figment of my imagination. It's a forbidden crush I won't pursue. As the kindle between us transformed into a blazing fire can we keep our relationship professional or should I just resign from my nanny position and leave the man who has a rock instead of a heart behind?</span></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>But a little voice in my head tells me that with me in his corner maybe he can get back at the top where he belongs.</strong></p><p><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Lonesome Heart includes both parts of the duet: Fallen Legend and Rising Star.</em></p>
