I Knew He Was Trouble
Amanda Schimmoeller
She loathes her doctor neighbor — until she becomes his niece's nanny and her icy walls start to melt.
Description
I’ve never needed help from anyone. I certainly don’t need it from the infuriating doctor next door.I loathe my uncivil neighbor and the loud music he blares before the sun has risen. Even the dogs I walk—for one of my four jobs—despise him.I’d be happy never seeing him again. But when he becomes his niece’s guardian for a few months and is in desperate need of a nanny, I begrudgingly accept the position.How can I refuse when the salary he offers will allow me to open my dog rescue? It’s a win-win. Or a lose-win, depending on how you look at it. I mean, I still have to be around Tyler, and I would never consider that winning.But the more time I spend with him, my cold indifference is melting away. And the way he’s starting to look at me feels more molten than icy.I knew that Tyler was trouble from the moment I met him, but now I think I might be the one in trouble...of losing my heart.I Knew He Was Trouble is an enemies to lovers, next-door-neighbor romcom with sizzling chemistry but no explicit content. It’s the first book in the Sweeter Than Fiction series, following four best friends finding love.
