Synopsis

He kissed her in her kitchen. He ran like he'd committed a felony. Then his ex-wife reappeared with a billionaire husband and a battalion of attorneys. NORA David Kingsley is, on paper, everything I’ve spent fifteen years training myself to avoid. He’s a parent at my school. He’s in the middle of a custody battle gripping the entire Chicago legal world. And he’s six-foot-something of dangerously composed corporate attorney—with slightly-too-long hair, a daughter I adore, and a habit of looking at me like I matter. Which is, frankly, unacceptable. I had routines for surviving a husband who made me feel like I wasn’t enough. I do not have routines for surviving David Kingsley kissing me in my kitchen in the middle of a crisis. Or for wanting him to do it again. Now his ex-wife is back after seven years—demanding custody of the child she abandoned. And David can’t afford complications. I am a complication. So are my feelings. So is the fragile, reckless hope I swore I was done with. I’ve always been very good at stepping aside for the sake of others. For the first time in my life… I can’t. DAVID I have one rule: no relationships while my daughter is young. For seven years, that rule has kept her safe. Stable. Protected from the chaos her mother left behind. Then Nora Harrison opens her door on the worst day of my life— my daughter asleep down her hallway, safe because of her. I should thank her. I should pick up my daughter and leave. Instead, I kiss her. In her kitchen. Without a plan. While her golden retriever judges me. It’s the worst decision I’ve made in my legal career. It’s also the only one I can’t walk away from. In six weeks, a judge will decide if the woman who abandoned my daughter gets to reclaim her. My ex has money, power, and a flawless redemption narrative. I have a clean record… and a very real, very dangerous attachment to my daughter’s principal. The exact kind of weakness her lawyers will use to destroy me. I should end things with Nora. I’ve always done what’s necessary, no matter the cost. But this time? I don’t want to. A steamy single-dad billionaire romance featuring a man who’s done playing it safe, a curvy principal who’s done being easy to leave, an eight-year-old future Supreme Court justice with opinions, and a golden retriever named Archimedes—who is the only one in this book with his life together. Perfect for fans of forbidden proximity, high-stakes custody drama, and heroines who finally decide they’re worth being chosen. As with all Megan Wade books, this body-positive billionaire romantic comedy comes with her Sugar Promise: high heat, low drama, guaranteed HEA.
