Book excerpt: I narrow my eyes at him, attempting to ignore the butterflies popping up in my stomach. Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve had a crush on Mr. Dean. He’s gorgeous with his perfectly styled chestnut hair, five o’clock shadow on his defined jawline, and mesmerizing dark eyes. I’ve had countless dreams featuring him. Which makes it so awkward that he’s my best friend’s dad. He glowers at me. What did I do? Surprising me, he growls, “That outfit is too godd**n short.” I flush, instinctively pulling at the hem of my skirt. My French maid outfit is more revealing than what I normally wear.
