Elena Hale needs this job more than she's ever needed anything. Billionaire hotel mogul Adrian Cole needs someone Sophie won't scare away. Neither of them expects what happens when a live-in nanny position turns into something neither can walk away from. Adrian Cole has spent two years rebuilding the walls around his heart, one perfectly controlled hour at a time. His five-year-old daughter has gone through four nannies since her mother died, and he's run out of patience for anything but results. Elena doesn't need patience. She needs the paycheck, the medical coverage, and a reason to believe good things still happen to people who stay. What she finds instead is a lonely little girl who deserves more than careful distance, and a father who's forgotten how to let anyone close enough to help. Living under Adrian's roof was never supposed to mean falling for him. But somewhere between bedtime stories, a charity gala, and a secret neither of them saw coming, Elena realizes the home she's been building for Sophie might just be the one she's been looking for all along. A heartwarming, clean billionaire single-dad romance about trust, found family, and choosing love on your own terms — perfect for fans of grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, and stories that touch the heart.
