About The Author
My Review
This book is about a grumpy single dad, an accidental marriage, and a fake relationship that quickly becomes all too real. This story blends emotional family dynamics with swoony workplace romance and just the right touch of angst.
Logan Ashford is a driven cruise line executive struggling to connect with his young son after a heartbreaking loss. When Nina, a warm and compassionate daycare provider onboard, effortlessly bonds with Noah, Logan hires her as his nanny—sparking a connection that challenges his carefully controlled world. Their relationship builds through sharp banter, emotional vulnerability, and a slow thawing of Logan’s guarded heart. An impulsive night leads to a surprise marriage, and what should have been a quiet annulment turns into a very public fake relationship thanks to family and media attention.
Logan begins as the classic arrogant, emotionally closed-off hero, but his softer side emerges beautifully through fatherhood and grief. Nina shines as a strong, kind heroine who refuses to be overshadowed. Their chemistry crackles, and the push-and-pull tension keeps the story engaging.
Though the third-act breakup feels harsh and the forgiveness a bit quick, the novel delivers a heartfelt, feel-good romance packed with charm, humor, and swoon-worthy moments.
