Church Girl: A Spicy Opposites Attract Single Dad Romance

She's a preacher's daughter, a runaway bride and now the (not quite) qualified nanny for a sexy tattoo artist with a beautiful daughter--and a dirty mouth.

What's a bad boy to do with a woman like her?

Everything...

Aaliyah Montgomery isn't just ditching her wedding. She's also fleeing her suffocating small town and her family's expectations. She's got plans--for college, for finding herself. But landing a job in Chicago that fits her schedule isn't easy. Good thing Von Howard is desperate to find a live-in nanny. Bad thing that he's a gritty, grumpy, gorgeous tattoo artist carrying as much baggage as he has ink.

Von's new hire is inexperienced and a fire hazard in the kitchen. She's also all thick curls, thicker curves, and a distracting mix of innocence and sensuality. After the upheaval of a divorce, he just needs a nanny, not a sneaky link. Meanwhile, Aaliyah is bonding with his seven-year-old and showing an unexpected flair for tattoo art. Who could resist?

Yet deep down, Aaliyah's still running--from her feelings and her fear of losing herself to someone else's expectations again. Even as their pasts return to haunt them, their undeniable heat says maybe it's time to stand and fight for a love they didn't see coming.

From showing up to glowing up, the characters in Afterglow Books are on the path to leading their best lives and finding sizzling romance along the way. Don't miss any of these other fun titles...
