It Happened After Hours

I need her—professionally, publicly, and in every way I’m not supposed to.

I built West Games on strategy and control. But with my board demanding I clean up my image before the IPO, I need a woman beside me to prove I’m the perfect family man.

Enter Jessa Cole—the curvy, smart-mouthed bartender I spent one unforgettable night with back in Holly Creek.

She needs a job and a place to stay.

I need her—as my son’s nanny, my fake fiancée, and the one woman I haven’t been able to forget.

But the more time we spend together—her laughter in my home, her scent in every room—the harder it becomes to remember what’s fake. Late nights turn reckless. One touch becomes another. And soon, control is the last thing I have left.

I swore I’d never risk my heart again.

She vowed she’d never fall for a billionaire.

But hearts don’t play by the rules.

And when her secret comes to light and love becomes the game… what happens when we both go all in?

Lose yourself in this steamy, slow-burn billionaire-and-nanny romance featuring a grumpy CEO, a small-town heroine with fire in her heart, and a fake relationship that feels all too real with a surprise twist—Book Six in Zee Irwin’s It Happened Series.
