Book Description
I took the nanny job to escape my cheating ex.
I didn’t plan on working for a yacht-owning billionaire who runs his life like a military operation and looks like a Mediterranean god in linen.
He’s broody, bossy, and utterly off-limits.
…So of course we kissed.
Now I’m stuck on his yacht—with his niece, a chaos-loving parakeet, and feelings I definitely shouldn’t be catching.
Because falling for your boss? Bad idea.
Falling for your emotionally unavailable, rule-loving billionaire boss in the South of France?
Disaster. With really good lighting.
Forty, Flirty & Frenched is a laugh-out-loud, slow-burn, forced-proximity rom-com novella with a brooding billionaire, a hot mess nanny, and a parrot named Captain Feathers. Perfect for fans of grumpy/sunshine romance, Mediterranean escapes, and heat with heart.

And just like that, the most critical business meeting of my career drowned in glitter and tempera paint.
My executive assistant Claire sits in the navigator’s chair like she’s watching a slow-motion yacht crash. “Define ‘someone.'”
“Someone competent. Someone who doesn’t let a seven-year-old turn a fifty-million-dollar yacht into an acid trip on the high seas…”
