He needed a nanny. She needed a family. Neither expected forever.

Single dad Tate Hartman is drowning. Between running his custom woodworking business and chasing after his two-year-old daughter Emmie, he's barely keeping his head above water. When his brothers suggest hiring a shared nanny with their growing family, it seems like the perfect solution.

Until Pearl Kennedy walks through his door.

Pearl came to Copper Falls looking for stability after years of bouncing between high-maintenance families in big cities. A year-long position with the warm, welcoming Hartman family feels like exactly what she needs to put down roots. But she's carrying secrets from her foster care past—secrets that make her believe she's too damaged to be around children, no matter how much her heart wants otherwise.

When Pearl's trauma threatens to tear them apart, Tate has to prove that some families are worth fighting for. And Pearl has to learn that the thing she fears most—letting people love her—might be exactly what she needs to heal.

Falling for the Single Dad is a steamy small-town instalove romance featuring a protective alpha hero who builds furniture and dreams, a heroine learning to trust herself again, and a toddler who calls carrots "dragon food." Complete with meddling family members, small-town gossip, and enough steam to fog up the workshop windows.
