A Single Dad Age Gap Western Romance
Blurb
- Hiring a nanny for this lone-wolf single dad should have been simple. Except I can’t keep my eyes off her.
I never moved on after my late wife, never wanted to or thought I could.
I’ve always been the gruff, rodeo champion - a loner with no room for distractions.
When Iris Wilder, my new nanny, stepped onto my ranch, she shook my world.
I watch as Iris wins over my daughter and how my little girl lights up.
With a city girl’s spirit and a sassy attitude, she’s a force to reckon with.
She’s making me ache for the things I swore off-limits.
A temptation I never signed up for.
It’s like a lasso around my heart. The chemistry is undeniable.
Her carefree spirit contrasts my rugged life. She’s thirty, I’m forty.
It’s a storm I never saw coming.
Iris has cracked my tough exterior. I’m teetering on the edge. It’s time to decide whether to hold on to my past or embrace this fiery, forbidden love.
Summary
- Colt Maverick (40), a seasoned rodeo champion and single father, finds himself at a crossroads when his demanding career clashes with his responsibilities as a devoted dad to his spirited young daughter, Lily. His wife, Charlotte, died four years after the birth of Lily. She suffered from severe heart disease, which took her life. Colt and Charlotte had endured many years before they could finally conceive Lily, only for Charlotte to die before Lily had even grown up. He has since committed to raising Lily by himself, refusing to remarry in honour of his wife.
Struggling to balance the demands of the rodeo circuit and fatherhood, Colt makes the unconventional decision to hire a nanny, Iris Wilder (28), a caring and free-spirited young woman, whose nurturing presence immediately strikes a chord with Lily.
Colt finds Lily’s attraction for Iris fascinating as Lily had not given herself to any other female since the death of her mother. This intrigues Colt and fuels the thought of there being something special about Iris.
Iris' arrival at the Maverick ranch sets the stage for a complex interplay of emotions. Colt, marked by a gruff exterior and still haunted by the death of his wife, is the epitome of the off-limits, dominant alpha male. The chemistry between Colt and Iris is, however, undeniable. Despite their age gap and Colt’s initial adamance to not look twice at any other woman since his wife’s death, they find themselves drawn to each other.
Colt's best friend from childhood, Jack, a seasoned cowboy who knows him better than anyone, encourages him to embrace the possibilities blooming before his eyes. And as Colt's feelings for Iris intensify, he finds himself navigating uncharted territory, torn between protecting his heart and surrendering to a love that could heal his wounds.
