The Single Dad's Christmas Bride

Widowed firefighter Sam Reyes has exactly forty-eight hours to find emergency childcare before the two busiest, most important weeks of the year, the ones he promised his late wife would always stay magical for their kids.

Maren Voss isn't looking for anything permanent. A former teacher turned professional holiday nanny, she specializes in short-term placements precisely because short-term is all she trusts herself to want anymore.

But somewhere between gumdrop diplomacy, a firehouse toy drive, and two determined kids with a plan of their own, temporary starts to feel a lot like home, and Maren has to decide whether saving someone else's Christmas is worth risking everything she rebuilt to protect her own heart.
