About Stay:
A scorching hot small town, age gap, single father/nanny romance by USA Today bestselling author Willow Aster.
When a judge falls for his younger nanny, can their love overcome the possibility of scandal?
As I drive into the picturesque small town of Landmark Mountain after the whirlwind of college, I could never have expected a simple job opportunity would lead me to the deliciously sexy Sutton Landmark. But fate, it seems, wants to send my plans sideways.
Judge Sutton Landmark, a man whose gorgeous face, charisma, and chocolate brown eyes could charm the pants off of anyone. He needs a nanny for his son, Owen, and I need a break from textbooks and exams…and some time to figure out what I really want to do with my life.
However, one heated look from Sutton, and everything inside me ignites.
As I spend time with Sutton, I find myself falling for him. There's a spark between us and a connection that simmers and dances in the air whenever we’re in the same room.
But Sutton’s prestigious position and the age gap between us casts a looming shadow over our happiness. Despite our hearts’ desires, fear and indecision hold us back from taking that leap of faith.
I want to believe that, despite the obstacles, anything is possible…
Even love against all odds.
I guess I’ll just have to jump in headfirst and stay to find out.
Stay is book five in the Landmark Mountain Series. Each book can be read as a standalone.
Stay Sneak Peek:
“Hi, Owen. I’m Felicity. Did you have a good day at school?”
“It was okay. I was more excited to see if you’d be here when I got home. Dad said if he liked you in person, I’d get to meet you. And if not…” He makes a slicing gesture across his neck, laughing. “He must like you.” He smiles over at me and I laugh, swiping a hand down my face.
Grinny’s head falls back as she laughs. “I don’t know whether to fuss at you, Sutton Henry Landmark, or to just laugh.” She reaches out and squeezes Felicity’s shoulder. “Hi, dear. I’m Grinny. You’ll have to excuse the manners on this one, he’s a judge and all, but sometimes he’s more trouble than all of the Landmarks combined. I assure you, there will be no,” she mimics Owen’s slicing gesture across her neck, “while I’m around.”
Between my son and my grandmother, I can’t get away with anything.
Felicity’s laughing when she glances at me too and I feel it like a sharp arrow pricking my chest. Damn, she’s gorgeous.
“Good to know. Glad I’m in safe hands with you, Grinny. And hopefully you too, Owen.” Her eyes are on me as she says it, and too many things in me spark to life.
Owen nods excitedly. “Don’t worry. I’ve got your back.”
“Already siding with her? I’m not sure this is a good sign,” I tease.
I wait to see if Felicity has anything to add and when she just smiles sweetly at Owen and then me, I reach out my hand. “Looks like the job is yours if you want it.”
She clasps my hand and there’s an electric shock when our skin touches this time.
“Oh!” she says in surprise. I’m not sure if it’s from the shock or that I’ve offered her the job. “Thank you so much.”
“Don’t make me regret this,” I say, still in a teasing voice.
But she swallows hard. “I won’t, sir.”
And the way those words send a jolt of lust through me has me wishing I could take it all back.
God, I hope this isn’t a mistake.
