Only a Crush

Only a Crush A small-town, single dad romance

Tell me I can't do something because I'm a girl. Go ahead. Can't go to MIT? Can't be a chemical engineering major? Guess what? And when my family finally accepted I wasn't going to follow my mother and sisters and become a kindergarten teacher slash housewife with a house full of kids, I decided to throw one more wild card their way. I joined the Navy and became a fighter pilot. I don't like being put in a box, which is why I was excited to accept an old friend's offer to head to Colorado to help him get a new resort up and running. Problem: My conscience is telling me I can't mess with Mateo Bandini, the ridiculously hot contractor working on the renovation. (Remember what I said about telling me not to do stuff?) This man is absolutely, undeniably, 100% smoking hot. He has this whole single dad, grumpy responsible thing going on, and my kind of trouble is the last thing a guy like Mateo needs. He's got enough on his plate, so I vow to stay away. So when he corners me one night at the resort and lets me know he's noticed me too? Well, when opportunity knocks... But things get deep fast. With him, with his adorable daughter. That's when I realize that running from the expectations that I'll settle down and have a family only brought them right to my door. That's not me. This is only a crush.
