Whiskey will forever taste like him.

One glance created an insatiable urge, and a drunken kiss sealed my desire for a stranger where the smallest drop of Whiskey reminds me of our moment, even if I don’t know his name.

The odds of finding him were low until life dropped me on his doorstep with a resume, waiting for a job interview. I’m to be his son’s live-in nanny, and Carter Anderson is far from a pleasant boss.

He’s stern, to the point, no in-betweens, yet every glance my way still has my pulse racing—that desire loud and greedy for more. However, Mr. Anderson is off-limits. My job must come first, though staying away is a challenge whenever Whiskey calls my name.
