Grumpy Protector

An One Night Stand Second Chance Romance

One night. No note. No goodbye.
He left me breathless, broken… and pregnant.
Now he’s back—with no clue he has a son.

Derek Greene is the man I swore I’d never forgive.
Seven years ago, he vanished before sunrise.
Now he’s standing in my office—gruff, gorgeous, and hired to investigate a security breach at the firm where I just landed my dream job.

Worse? He doesn’t recognize me.

A secret baby. A forced proximity. A danger neither of us saw coming.

Every glance sizzles. Every touch threatens to unravel me.
I try to resist—but when he wraps his arms around me and looks at our son like he already loves him, I shatter.

Then someone targets me.
And I’m forced to make an impossible choice.

Can I trust the man who left me once—
with my heart, my son…
and the truth that could get us all killed?
