Fundamentals of Being a Good Girl Publisher's summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone comes a brand-new college town raunch-com about a sexy single dad professor and a feisty law school grad turned nanny in this steamy tale of Academic Affairs…

She wants to be a good girl. He's dying to teach her.

New to town and freshly single, rookie lecturer Maddie isn't looking for trouble … until she ends up in bed with Bram – a sexy, grumpy single dad – on her first night.

The catch? He's her new boss at home (he needs a nanny), and her colleague at work (he's a professor, too). So to make it work, they set some ground rules:

  • No more sex
  • They can never be alone in the house together

But Maddie's great at breaking these rules, and Bram's even better at dishing out consequences…

‘With plenty of cheeky charm and a cast of superbly nuanced characters, this brilliantly executed rom-com both cleverly skewers and unabashedly celebrates the appeal of squeaky-clean holiday romances, while also championing body positivity in life and love’ BOOKLIST

’Funny and saucy, this certainly puts the X-rated into Xmas’ HEAT

’A merry little masterpiece … this is a read for those who want a winter romcom but with some X-rated antics’ METRO

‘The holiday rom-com of your dreams!’ COSMOPOLITAN
