AUTHOR BIO
Saffron A. Kent is a USA Today Bestselling Author of Contemporary and New Adult romance.
She has an MFA in Creative Writing and she lives in New York City with her nerdy and supportive husband, along with a million and one books.
She’s horribly unqualified…and everything they both need.
Travis
The last time I saw my ex-fling, she was toasting her engagement to a record producer. So when I heard she’d had a baby, I assumed he was the father…until she showed up at my house seven years later with a little boy and said, “Your turn.”
I’m a musician. My life is already loud and chaotic enough, and it’s definitely not kid-friendly. But I was raised by a nanny, and I see no harm in finding one for my son.
Too bad he rejects every single person I hire.
The only person he actually likes? Not a nanny. She’s a friend of a friend and the former floor manager at a brewery. But she has just enough childcare experience that I offer her the job out of desperation…and instantly regret it.
Hannah is a bossy, opinionated, loud-mouthed hurricane of a woman who tests my patience, my sanity, and my number one rule: don’t fall for the nanny.
Hannah
Let the record show, I am not a professional nanny. I did, however, raise my little brother, so I know my way around a juice box and a tantrum. Which is more than Travis can say.
My new boss is uptight, obsessive, and needs more help than his kid does.
I was determined to pop in, whip things into shape, and leave, but the more I get to know them, the more I want to stay…
**A standalone romcom in the Babes of Brewing series of interconnected standalones**
Note: There are TWO different versions of this romcom:
1) A spicy open door version with some strong language and sex scenes
2) A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.
I’ve done everything right—built a career, climbed the corporate ladder, and put the family business first. But when my father tries to turn my love life into a merger deal, I realize it might be time to finally break a rule or two.
So I do something completely out of character: I run.
One impulsive flight, one sketchy boat rental, and one minor shipwreck later, I wash up off the coast of Maine only to be rescued by a grumpy (and unfairly attractive) harbormaster who thinks I’m a walking, talking disaster.
He’s rugged, grounded, infuriating, and annoyingly good at saving me.
I’m only here for the summer—just long enough to clear my head, avoid my father’s matchmaking schemes, and figure out what I want.
Falling for a man who navigates fog better than his own feelings? Not part of my plan.
But between lobster rolls, starry nights, and kisses I can’t stop thinking about, I start to wonder if I’m no longer escaping something… but finding something worth staying for.

You see, in the shadows, temptation and peril collide.
So, ready or not, the monster within is about to be unleashed… and these three Shadowfen are eager to claim their prize…

Joshua Lucas is the immaculate, sexy, bachelor and the eldest son in his dad’s firm: Lucas Property Brothers LA. I’ve always admired him, and not just his cute buns in those designer suits he wears.

When my boss calls in sick for a big showing, I’m sent to Lake Haven to close the deal for a famous actress. Getting the city grit out of my hair feels like a mini-vacay… That is until I walk in on Joshua in the shower of the Airbnb. It turns out his dad and my boss (who are a couple) didn’t tell either of us we’d both be there. Throw in my mischievous tabby cat, a storm from hell, plus a deal I have to land, and we’ve got ourselves one hot mess. All we have to do is keep our hands off one another this weekend, but that’s becoming increasingly difficult when I’ve already seen Joshua Lucas naked and he’s looking at me with those bedroom eyes I can’t resist. I don’t know how long I can hold out, or if breaking all the rules could stay just between the two of us… it’s one weekend, no one has to know, right?
🏘Review🏘 When Lexi agreed to step in for her boss and show a property she never expected the events that would unfold. She is expecting to see a client but who she finds instead is Joshua, who is not only from a rival real estate agency but also the man she has been trying to deny her attraction to.
Joshua works for his father’s real estate company who is convinced to spend some time at one of their properties. What he wasn’t expecting was that he wouldn’t be alone or that find himself stranded there with Lexi might finally allow them to realize the feelings between them aren’t forbidden but fate.
Joshua is the perfect mix of sweet and swoony while Lexi is both strong and sassy. The interactions between them are humorous and hot and the romance endearing.

I’m no damsel in distress. At least not until I get myself stuck inside a burning house and need to be rescued. One viral video later, I’m agreeing to fake date the firefighter who pulled me out of the fire.
Seth Davis is new in town. He’s not only quiet and reclusive, but he looks like a lumbersnack. Add in the firefighter gig and it’s no wonder the women in this town are flocking to him like bees to honey.
He hates the attention and I need to send a message to my cheating ex that there’s no way we’re ever getting back together. It’s a win-win situation.
Except…
Seth’s fake touches start to feel very real. Underneath the grumpy persona is a sweet side any woman would swoon over. Including me.
I’m not sure I’m ready to open my heart again, but what we’re doing feels like a lot more than pretending.
🔥Review🔥
Seth is a firefighter who was only doing his job when he rescued Violet from a fire. Now the publicity that went along with the rescue has given him attention he doesn’t want so when Beth wants to thank him he mentions that the best way she could show her appreciation is by pretending they are a couple.
Violet is a crime scene tech who found herself in a dangerous situation when she is rescued by Seth. Seth’s suggestion that they pretend to be a couple seems like a win-win as it will also allow her to distance herself from her ex but developing feelings for each other wasn’t part of the plan especially when a person from his past resurfaces and creates a challenge that neither saw coming.
Violet is strong, independent and sees beneath Seth’s cantankerous demeanor to the man he truly is. The attraction between them is undeniable and the way they support each other through a time of turmoil only reinforces that they are perfect for each other in every way.
