The Grumpy Alpha's Nanny

The job ad didn't mention the claws.

Tessa has nannied the worst households the city could hand her — hepatitis, head-lice, hitting. She has one rule: tell her the danger, not the strangeness. So when she drives to the end of a road the county forgot and a man the size of a barn door tells her his two motherless children are wolves, she doesn't run. She asks what can actually kill them, and how she helps keep it from happening.

Rourke Vane is the last alpha of a dying pack — a widower running a failing territory, a father to two grieving cubs, a wolf going slowly wrong in the blood the way unmated alphas do. He hired a human because there's no one of his kind left. He did not hire her so the broken thing inside him could go quiet for the first time in a year every time she walks into the room. He swore he'd keep her safe by keeping her at arm's length.

He's about to learn what every grieving man learns too late: you can't keep someone safe by refusing to let them in. You only keep them lonely.

Because Tessa is mending more than torn coats. She's teaching a terrified four-year-old that a person leaving the room isn't a person leaving forever. She's letting a fierce little girl be the one who knows things instead of the one who needs help. She's coaxing the scattered young wolves back to the tree line one cup of terrible coffee at a time. She's handing a dying pack back its own life — and she has no idea that the wolf in Rourke has already chosen her, or that the rogue testing the failing fence has noticed exactly how much the alpha has left to lose.

When the moon comes and the wards break, Rourke will have to choose between the wall that's kept everyone at a safe, lonely distance — and the human woman who refused, from the first day, to be protected by being kept in the dark.

The Grumpy Alpha's Nanny is a fated-mates, single-dad, grumpy-sunshine wolf-shifter romance about found family, the courage to be held, and a pack that runs together so no one ever has to run alone. First in the Hollowpine Pack series.
