EXCERPT

But then a blur of motion launches at me. I don’t have time to react other than to brace for impact. Damn, I’m caught off-guard. That never happens. It allowed Bianca’s reinforcements to pummel me. She deserves more credit, but I won’t be the one to admit that.

My body flexes into a weapon as I assess the situation. Except this attack feels… gentle? That can’t be right. A glance down steals the breath from my lungs.

There’s a small child latched onto my legs. I think she’s hugging me. My eyes widen while I slowly lift my hands. Shit, am I surrendering? My heart is pounding too fast. It feels like I’ve been compromised.

I’ve stared down the barrel of a gun more times than I care to count but never flinched. An unexpected hug from this little girl is what’s going to do me in. Instinct tells me to push her away, but that seems unnecessarily cruel. Even for me. My empty gut churns on a feast of nerves. I don’t know what to do.

Another person arrives on the scene, but I can’t look away from this tiny human. She’s gazing at me with such adoration. It’s unsettling but pleasant. Warmth threatens to cradle my frozen heart.

Her pretty face nuzzles my leather pants. “She’s a superhero, Daddy.”

Daddy? Her father must be nearby. Why isn’t he detaching her from me? I’m a stranger, not to mention extremely dangerous.

In my peripheral, I watch a very tall man look me over. “She’s something.”

My breath sputters. What the fuck is happening?

The little girl clings to me like we’re family. Or maybe she’s stuck. There’s a gooey residue on her cheeks and fingers. My upper lip curls. That’s going to leave a stain.

Which must not be permanent enough damage for this small child. She blinks at me, revealing her genuine soul and intentions. “Will you be my mommy?”

Something strange happens to my stomach. Almost like it flips over onto itself. I might be sick. She’s asking me to be her mommy? Is this a joke?

But nobody is laughing. My heart pounds faster as I wait for someone else to react. Nothing happens other than her tiny arms proving to have mighty strength. Maybe I’m being tested. I definitely can’t hang around for another shot to be fired.

With more care than I’ve ever given in my life, I pluck the kid off me. A squeak from my biker boots announces my retreat. My shoulders hike around my ears while I disappear into the cheerful crowd. Dammit, I’m never one to flee.

Defeat tries to weigh me down as I rush toward my Harley. Forget the raise. The boss can find someone else to handle that level of dirty work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

BLURB

 

Frankie

The wrong side of the town is paradise compared to where I grew up. It’s all I’ve ever known, but that doesn’t make it home.

When I’m given an unexpected out from that life, I don’t hesitate to take it.

Except there’s a catch.

Byron Benson needs a nanny. It’s almost comical that the grumpy single dad looks at me and sees someone trustworthy for the role. There’s not a maternal bone in my leather-clad body.

But as it turns out, Byron isn’t in charge of the search. His little girl has big plans for me and her dad doesn’t need any convincing.

Byron

I didn’t plan to raise my daughter on my own. Try as I might, even all the money in the world can’t replace a mother’s love.

Francesca Keller appears like a shadow, disappearing much the same. The memory of her tangles us in trouble and I’m not sure how we’ll escape.

Until one day she needs a place to stay.

My little girl welcomes Frankie into our home with wide open arms. What the ex-con gets from me is a lot less friendly.

Personalities clash. Loyalties are tested. But one thing remains constant.

Frankie belongs at my side, fulfilling the needs we’re desperate to satisfy, and I’m not letting her go without a fight.
