Description

Fake engagements rarely end in heartbreak…unless the lines between real and make-believe start to blur.
To win custody of my daughter, I need the one thing I thought I'd never have—a fiancée. Blake, my new live-in nanny, was the logical choice. The plan was simple: be seen together around the island, dating and looking happy.

Too bad there's nothing logical or simple about my feelings for Blake.

She's beautiful. Kind. And she makes me realize love might not be as unattainable for a single dad as I always assumed.

But my life is complicated. So is my relationship with my ex—and the legal battle we're in. This is notthe time to be starting a new romance.

If someone could just remind me of that the next time Blake is in my arms (and my bed), I'd appreciate it…

A steamy small-town beach single dad nanny romance featuring fake engagement for custody, roommates to lovers, and forced proximity, this story delivers grumpy hero energy and a compassionate heroine who softens his guarded heart. Expect emotional slow burn, found family vibes, legal battle tension with the ex, forbidden boss/nanny chemistry, and a swoony protector fighting for both his daughter—and the woman he never meant to fall for.
