Debut Novel of Lana Ferguson
Book Summary:
Suddenly unemployed and on the brink of eviction, Cassie Evans is left with two choices: get a new job (and fast) or fire up her long-untouched OnlyFans account. But the job market is terrible, and as for OnlyFans. . . . Well, there are reasons she can’t go back. Just when all hope seems lost, an ad for a live-in nanny position seems like the solution to all her problems. It’s almost too perfect—until she meets her would-be employer.
Aiden Reid, executive chef and DILF extraordinaire, is far from the stuffy single dad Cassie was imagining. He shocks her when he tells her she’s the most qualified applicant he’s met in weeks, practically begging her to take the job. With hands that make her hindbrain howl and eyes that scream sex, the idea of living under the same roof as Aiden feels dangerous, but with no other option, she decides to stay with him and his adorably tenacious daughter, Sophie.
Cassie soon discovers that Aiden is not a stranger at all, but instead someone who is very familiar with her—or at least, her body. Given that he doesn’t remember her, Cassie is faced with what feels like an impossible situation. As their relationship heats to temperatures hotter than any kitchen Aiden has ever worked in, Cassie struggles with telling Aiden the truth, and the more terrifying possibility—losing the best chance at happiness she’s ever had.
My Review:
“Hot” doesn’t even begin to describe this book! I’ve read some spicy stories that stop just short of erotica, but this one really blurs the line. Stepping in to fill the gap left by Alice Clayton, this book delivers on all fronts—excellent character development, a rich plot, scorching chemistry, and some of the most intense scenes I’ve read in a while. Plus, there’s plenty of humor and an all-around feel-good vibe.
The somewhat far-fetched circumstances of how the characters meet might be a bit tough to swallow (not saying it’s impossible, as stranger things have happened), but their falling for each other, not realizing fate has granted them a second chance, is a delightful twist. For me—and I suspect it’s just me—I found it tricky to picture Aunt Ivy as the little girl’s aunt and not her grandmother. The way she’s written came across as old-fashioned, so I continually imagined her as an older woman rather than someone close to Aiden’s age.
The alternation between the characters as strangers connecting via OnlyFans and their present interactions was a nice touch. Overall, this book was a joy to read, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a story with a lot of heart, humor, and heat.

About the Book Author
Lana Ferguson
Lana Ferguson is a sex-positive nerd whose works never shy from spice or sass. A faded Fabio cover found its way into her hands at fifteen, and she’s never been the same since. When she isn’t writing—you can find her randomly singing show tunes, arguing over which Batman is superior, and subjecting her friends to the extended editions of Lord of the Rings. Lana lives mostly in her own head, but can sometimes be found chasing her corgi through the coppice of the great American outdoors.
Lana hopes to give the world all sorts of sexy stories between two dummies sharing a single brain cell—but until then: practice safe text, use commas.
