Dexter Cross has it all—three kids, a thriving business, and a life held together by pure willpower. But after his third nanny quits and grief looms large, chaos threatens to consume him. Then Lanie appears. She’s everything his family needs: sharp, sassy, and fearless in the face of his gruff exterior. For the first time, Dex feels seen.
But Lanie’s past is riddled with pain, and she’s learned the hard way to keep her heart guarded. No man—no matter how kind—can fix her. Yet Dex isn’t giving up without a fight.
As their connection deepens, Lanie must decide if she’s brave enough to risk it all. Can two broken souls build a life together, or will love slip away before it even has a chance?
