Forbidden Hearts by Corinne Michaels is now live!
First rule of being a nanny? Don’t fall for the single dad, even if he is smoking hot.
But that’s exactly what happens when grumpy small-town sheriff Asher Whitlock reluctantly hires me to take care of his daughter for the summer. Neither of us is thrilled with the arrangement, but he’s desperate for help, and I need the money for grad school this fall.
All we need to do is keep our distance and remain professional . . . turns out, that’s easier said than done.
Instead of focusing on my future, all I see is the strong jawline, crystal-blue eyes, and rock-hard body right in front of me. We try to resist each other, but we end up crossing every line until I’m in his bed.
I tell myself it’s just this once.
Okay, twice.
All right, every night.
But it’s got to end–he’s fourteen years older than me, with a kid and a stressful job. Have I mentioned my dad is his boss? Then there’s the past I’m trying to forget. Secrets aren’t easy to keep and mine are getting too big to hide.
Walking away is never simple but when I do, I can’t look back.
Even if it means leaving behind the man I was never meant to love.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
In Forbidden Hearts, Corinne Michaels takes her readers back to Sugarloaf, this time focusing on the Whitlock family. Asher is as grumpy as they come, married to his job as the SWAT chief, and co-parenting his Deaf daughter. When he runs into a nanny issue the summer that his daughter is spending with him while her mom is out of the country on assignment, Asher reluctantly agrees to let his boss’ daughter — who is studying to be an audiologist and knows ASL — fill in as the nanny.
Phoebe is a breath of fresh air. She is fun and feisty and has no problem putting Asher in his place. I loved the combative nature of their relationship because it was overflowing with sexual chemistry. It was explosive when Asher and Phoebe finally gave in to their attraction to each other! Eventually, Asher and Phoebe agree to a secret relationship for as long as she is in town before heading back to grad school. But an unexpected twist changes the course of Phoebe’s life, and Asher turns out to be a big old protective Marshmallow underneath that grumpy exterior the rest of the world sees!
Meanwhile, Phoebe had a lovely friendship with Asher’s daughter, Olivia. It was so nice to see her treat Olivia as an equal and not as her ward.
This series is set a few years after the Arrowood Brothers books, since Phoebe is a contemporary of the Arrowood kids, and some of the OG brothers and their wives appear more in line with Asher’s age.
The next book in this series has been announced as Addy and Grady, tying the Whitlock Family series to the Rose Canyon series, since Addy moved from there to Sugarloaf. As CM readers know, her author bestie is Melanie Harlow — and Phoebe’s best friend is Emmeline, one of Frannie and Mack’s twins from the Cloverleigh Farms series. And yes, I hope she comes to visit Phoebe in Sugarloaf and falls head-over-heels in love with Rowan!
