The Paleontologist (Sexy Scientists Series, Book Five‪)‬

Olivia
My son and I moved to Willowdale for a fresh start. But life doesn’t always go according to plan. Our bed and breakfast is failing, and my hopes are sinking.

I need new customers. Fast.

Too bad I have a busted stove and a third floor that’s more bare walls than bed. I have three months to finish renovations before my B and B’s feature on the hot, new travel website. Nothing will distract me from finishing and giving my business the boost it needs.

Until Ben Morris walks through the door.

He’s a sexy paleontologist with a chip on his shoulder the size of a brontosaurus and a hate for the small town I’ve grown to love.

Ben
I’d vowed to never return to Willowdale. But my baby brother needs my help.

I’ll do anything to protect him—even if it’s from himself and even if that means returning to the place of my nightmares.

But I wasn’t expecting Olivia Price.

A woman with intelligence and drive that matches my own. She might be my perfect woman, but I have a brother to save and a book to finish so I can get the hell out of Willowdale for good.

Except, spending time with Olivia and her son soothes my soul in a way I never thought possible.

I don’t have the first clue how to be in a functional family, so why am I suddenly longing to be a part of theirs?

Author’s Note: This is the fifth in a series of stand-alone, short and dirty (So.Very.Dirty.) novellas. If you’re looking for quick, one-handed (ahem) reads with insta-love and over-the-top alpha heroes in lab coats, then the trope-alicious Sexy Scientists series is for you!
