Milky Christmas With The Single Dad: An Age Gap, Silver Fox, Christmas Romance (Lacton College #21)

When I draw my brooding Creative Writing professor's name for Secret Santa, I nearly panic—but that's before I discover Forrest Marston is hiding the biggest secret on campus.

He's a single dad.

And I'm his new babysitter.

The silver fox with the piercing gray eyes and shoulders that fill every doorway doesn't want me around his five-year-old daughter. Our first shift ends in an argument. I'm convinced this enemies-to-lovers dynamic will be the death of me—or my GPA.

But then he catches me on the ice rink, his hands firm on my waist, and suddenly this college romance feels dangerously real.

There's just one my body has a mortifying secret of its own. Every time Forrest looks at me with those intense eyes, my milky embarrassment threatens to overflow. I'm leaking through my shirts, drowning in humiliation, and desperately trying to hide the truth.

Until the night he discovers it.

Now this Christmas romance is spiraling into something I never expected—something primal and possessive. Forrest whispers about forever, about filling his empty house with more than just holiday lights, about the breeding romance trope I've only read about in books but never imagined living.

The age gap should matter. The professional boundaries should stop us. My mother's warnings should scare me away.

But when he looks at me like I'm his entire world—like I'm the missing piece to his fractured family—I can't bring myself to care.

This Christmas, I'm risking everything for the one man I shouldn't want.

And he's already claimed me as his.
