Falling for the grumpy, single dad next door wasn’t on my summer to-do list.
Did I mention he’s also a football god? A really hot one? Because he is.
Becoming said baller’s new nanny?
Yeah, I definitely didn’t see that one coming.
But nothing about Maverick Beneventi was ever what I expected.
He’s the embodiment of every broody book boyfriend I’ve ever loved, wrapped in deliciously sexy muscles and covered in beautiful black ink. All scowls and sharp edges, I was sure he hated me.
Until one mischievous puppy, one rainy night, and one unexpected job offer changed everything.
Now, my days are filled with bedtime stories and butterfly kisses, all thanks to the one person who can bring Maverick to his knees—his little girl, Rosie.
He doesn’t do complications. Or fun. Or anything that could make him smile. But somewhere between late-night talks and lingering touches, stolen glances and quiet moments . . . something changes, and I did the one thing I swore I wouldn’t.
I fell in love.
With Maverick. With Rosie.
With the life I was sure I’d never have.
And with summer slipping away and my heart on the line, I have to decide—stay and fight for the family I never saw coming . . . or walk away before I destroy it all?
