Love You More

Jackson Corbett is a gorgeous single dad who doesn’t want complications at his family winery. And I’m the messy tornado who just offered to be his new nanny. When I show up for a job interview in my pajamas and at the wrong time, my interviewer isn’t there, but Jackson is. He scowls and tells me to take a hike, insisting I don’t really want to work in the tasting room at Buttercup Hill Vineyards. But I do. Years of sommelier courses and amateur wine-making have landed me here, at the best winery in Napa Valley. I can see that he’s overworked and stretched thin with parenting and a stressful job. So I make a deal with him—if I’m hired by the winery, I’ll work a second job as his nanny. I can endure the world’s grouchiest dad and entertain his feisty seven-year-old if it means career advancement and paying off my debts. There’s no risk of romantic entanglement because Jackson is a grade-A grump—albeit a hot and chiseled one—who’s been burned by love. The weight of the world sits on his muscular shoulders, and he spends most of his time worrying about the vineyard’s finances and looking at spreadsheets. The last thing I’m concerned about is how he looks at me. Until he does. I catch him sneaking glances, and I can’t help staring right back. And noticing how sweet he is with his daughter, how his chilly façade is starting to melt, how he lingers longer than necessary when I’m around. I find myself wanting to help him even if it means spending more time away from my younger sister, right when she needs me most. I’m terrified of letting down the only real family I have. Falling for him could ruin my carefully-wrought plans and I love my status quo. But what if I love him more?Love You More is a standalone contemporary romance with a HEA
