Perfectly Steady: A Motocross Single Dad romance

Odette wasn’t looking for a family.
She certainly wasn’t looking for a man.

Then came the Stratfords.

She was just trying to do her job — a dietitian for a promising rookie rider in his first motocross season.

Forever unraveling from the weight of a childhood that taught her love was conditional and belonging was earned, suddenly, she’s surrounded by warmth she doesn’t trust, hired by a team who believes in her, working for a team that feels suspiciously like home.

And then there’s the Mitchell of it all — Orson’s father.

Sweet, steady, unexpectedly sincere.

Odette tells herself it’s just a harmless crush, nothing serious.

He’s married anyway. Right?

But as the truth unfolds and boundaries blur, Odette is forced to confront what it means to be wanted — not for what she can give or prove, but simply for who she is.

Mitchell is steady in ways she’s never known. And terrifying in the same breath. Because if someone like him stays, what happens to all the reasons she’s carried for why she’s unlovable?
