Chloe Knott had one lesson growing up: men are trash. Until Will Perry blows her quiet world to smithereens.
Starting goalie for the Tampa Bay Ospreys and the kind of hot that scrambles your brain, Will is impossibly grumpy and focused on only two things: hockey and taking care of his daughter. Fiercely independent and guarded, Chloe was only supposed to be his daughter's kindergarten teacher. Until in a twist of events, she becomes his nanny.
When she moves into Will's pool house, everything changes. Chloe feels Will's heated gaze beneath that permanent scowl, the way it lingers and warms her skin. When the tension becomes too much, they make a deal. Will still needs a nanny and Chloe still needs a paycheck. Will might be her boss, but he agrees to teach Chloe everything she has always wanted to learn - and she is all too eager to be his student.
Chloe is a grown woman - she can explore her curiosities with the hottest goalie on earth and still remain one-hundred percent professional. And she can do it all without catching feelings, right?

Kandi Steiner is a #1 Amazon bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tennessee. Best known for writing 'emotional rollercoaster' stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance - in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you're a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she's your gal.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women's Studies. Her love for writing started at the ripe age of ten, and in 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her 'freedom of press'.
She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn't writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, hiking, yoga, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.
