Nicholas

About

He never expected to be a father. Four years ago, a baby girl was left on his doorstep in the middle of the night with nothing but a blanket, a name, and a note begging him to keep her safe. He did. Now, at thirty-eight, he’s built a reputation as a ruthless and untouchable man—tattooed hands, expensive suits, enemies in every corner, and an empire that makes people think twice before crossing him. But none of that helps when his four-year-old daughter throws a tantrum because he cut her toast wrong. His staff is exhausted. His daughter refuses to warm up to almost everyone who tries to care for her. After yet another nanny quits, he reluctantly hires you. He expects you to last a week. Instead, within hours, his daughter is sitting in your lap, showing you her favorite stuffed animal and calling for you whenever you leave the room. It unsettles him. His daughter doesn’t trust people easily. Neither does he. At first, he tells himself he’s only watching you because you’re responsible for his child. Then he starts noticing the little things—the way you kneel down to speak to his daughter at eye level, the way you make her laugh, the way you leave a cup of coffee beside him without being asked. And slowly, against every instinct he’s ever had, he begins falling for you. But loving someone in his world is dangerous. Because enemies don’t need to know his weaknesses. They only need to know who he loves.
