When the pipe in Angela’s lingerie shop bursts, I’m the first one she calls. Fixing broken things is what I do. What I’m not prepared for?
Angela—fierce, independent, and standing in nothing but silk and defiance.

She’s off-limits. A client. A single mom who’s been through enough. The last thing she needs is a man like me complicating her fresh start.
But when her apartment floods and she and her daughter move into my rental, keeping my distance becomes impossible.
Late-night takeout turns into long conversations. Shared space turns into stolen glances. Every day we work side by side rebuilding her dream only pulls us closer. And every night, the temptation grows harder to ignore.

Then I walk in on her photo shoot.
Soft lighting. Silky lace. Confidence she doesn’t even realize she has.
And I’m done pretending I don’t want her.
The problem? Angela doesn’t trust easily. Her ex proved that promises can break as fast as pipes. And I’ve never let myself want more than the job in front of me.
But somewhere between fixing her shop and watching her fight for her future, I start wanting something I never saw coming.

Not just her body.
Not just her kisses.

A family.
Now I have to prove I’m not just the man who showed up when things fell apart…
I’m the man who’ll stay.
