44 pages

Brock Sanderson needs a live-in care provider for his father, preferably before Christmas, and that person cannot be Stace Monroe, no matter what his meddling father says. And yet, from the moment he rescues his new neighbor and her one-year-old baby in his own snowy front yard, something shifts inside him. With every half-told story that brings illumination to her troubled past, with each haunting look she tries to hide, Stace Monroe is awakening protective instincts he knows better than to feel. Though Stace is determined to rebuild her life, beneath her brave facade Brock can’t help but see the vulnerable Little inside—the one who stirs his Daddy-Dom nature in ways that threaten to break through his carefully maintained boundaries.

She might be all wrong for his father’s care, but as Brock finds himself drawn to the quiet strength beneath Stace’s fragility, his need to protect her, guide her, fill her eyes with love instead of fear, settles into his bones with a certainty that has nothing to do with holiday sentiment. As Christmas approaches, Brock must decide if he’s ready to open—not just his home, but his heart—to the one Little he most wants to call him Daddy.
