Caveman


Jo Raven - 2017
    Hot single daddy. Arrogant. Rude. Older. My boss. Totally off limits... right? Matthew Hansen is the kind of handsome that has grown women whispering behind their hands and giggling like schoolgirls. Dark, tall and mysterious, he’s a newcomer to our little town. He’s a gritty, grease-covered mechanic, and a single daddy. Sweet, right? Plus, he’s looking for a nanny – and I am desperately looking for a job. Sounds like the perfect deal. Only he’s a jerk. An uncivilized, hulking brute. Zero manners. Zero interest in making me feel welcome in his home. Downright rude. But oh, so sexy. And I need the job. I can do this. One thing is for sure: I can’t fall for the Caveman. No matter how sexy he is. How mysterious. How tortured. That’s the only rule – and one I’m about to break. ***This is a standalone, full-length romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger or cheating. For a limited time, I have included ZANE, a standalone novel, and MICAH, a standalone long novella, as bonus. ***(Librarian Note: This story is loosely connected (as a sort of sequel) to Zane (Inked Brotherhood, #3).)

He’s my six-foot-something, hot-as-sin crush, the brainy, slightly mysterious older man who recently moved into my neighborhood. And that strong and silent smile that makes me weak in the knees? It’s nothing compared to what I’ve fantasized about. On paper, he’s all kinds of wrong for me. Is it wrong that I want him to look after me, protect me, tell me not to dance with any other guys? Be a little bit strict with me? It’s not that I want to dance with other guys anyway. Men my age just don’t cut it. When they find out how inexperienced I am, they either run straight for the door or get a little too excited. But Mr. Norris is the only man I’ve wanted for the past six months. And suddenly, he’s traded in his slightly distant, frustratingly hot demeanor for an intense possessive streak. He’s got trouble written all over him...and I can’t resist a little trouble. Mr. Norris When I met Alexandra, I knew I was done with bachelor life for good. In an instant, when our eyes met and the sparks flew, I knew she would be mine.

But none of that matters when she’s in my arms, making me forget my name and wanting to claim her sweet lips and lusciously curvy body. There are many reasons we shouldn’t be together, including a secret from my past. But there’s one reason we should be together - and no matter what comes our way, I’m taking her on this date.
