Forbidden Single Dad Protector

Steamy and easy to get into. I liked the single dad storyline. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. I sped through this story. The writing was good.

So good! One of my favorite books by this author. A lot of these books are very repetitive and this was far from it! Will recommend to everyone

I enjoyed this book. Perfect blend of strong male lead and female lead. The book was quite short so nothing felt like it was going on too long. The only thing I didn't like is the name of the book, feel like it could be a bit less obvious with the title!

Story follows the meeting and relationship of Summer Davidson and Christoph Pierce.
She’s and idealistic dreamer with a Robin Hood mentality while Christoph is a billionaire who lost his wife in a car accident and is Father to a son - Jaxon.
Christoph’s parents are withholding Jaxons trust until he can find a new partner.
Summer is at a high end boutique where she’s talking with her friend Trinity about how if rich people would just do some good with the money they spend on luxury goods - the would would better off. In a stupid tirade she’s about to walk of the store with a designer handbag and security catches her before she even gets to the door - Trinity rushes out of the store and leaves Summer all alone - waiting for the Owner and the cops to arrive.
He sees Summer in the back office and is awestruck at her beauty - he doesn’t want to let the cops handle this so when they arrive he advises that it will be dealt with in-house.
In order to keep Summer around he makes her work for free until she pays off the price of the bag.
In a weird turn of events - Summer ex-boyfriend is Christoph younger brother; who recommends that they pretend to be engaged.
Little do either of them realize that a fake relationship wouldn’t be fake for long.
She shows Christoph the benefits of helping others by donating your time and money to a homeless shelter in the Bronx. Christoph shows her that she’s worth being loved and how much money you have doesn’t mean you are any less worth being loved especially when he finds that his son Jaxon has fallen for her as well.

Christoph Pierce has it all. He’s a billionaire with way more money than he knows what to do with, flourishing businesses & also a terrific kiddo, Jaxon. However, his wife passed away in a car accident & seems to carry around the guilt & grief with him even though it wasn’t his fault.
Summer Davidson and her best friend Trinity are out shopping one day when she pretends to steal an expensive handbag from one of the stores Christoph owns. When he finds out & comes to the store & sees her…his rage is instead gone & instantly lights on fire with desire for her. He decides to handle this incident in house & has her work off her debt for free in return for him not pressing charges against her.
In a weird turn of events - Summer ex-boyfriend is Christoph’s younger brother; who recommends that they pretend to be engaged in order for Jaxon’s trust to be released from Christoph’s parents. Instead of them continuing to “fake it until they make it”, they both realize over time what has happened…
They both fell in love with one another! However, someone else stands in the way of that & Christoph will go to WHATEVER length he needs to in order to protect Summer…
