His daughter’s principal is off-limits.
His ex-wife is back in court.
And the one woman he can’t touch is the one keeping him together.
A steamy forbidden single-dad romance featuring a corporate attorney with one unbreakable rule, the curvy school principal he absolutely should not want, a custody battle that turns every secret into evidence, and an eight-year-old future Supreme Court justice who notices everything.
Also featuring a golden retriever named Archimedes, who remains the only emotionally stable character in the room.

NORA
David Kingsley is a parent at my school. That should be enough to keep my hands, my mouth, and my feelings to myself.
It is not.
He’s in the middle of a custody battle gripping the entire Chicago legal world. And he’s six-foot-something of dangerously composed corporate attorney—with slightly-too-long hair, a daughter I adore, and a habit of looking at me like I matter.
I had routines for surviving a husband who made me feel like I wasn’t enough. I do not have routines for surviving David Kingsley kissing me in my kitchen in the middle of a crisis.
Or for wanting him to do it again.
I spent years being the woman people left. I’m not sure I can be that woman anymore.
DAVID
I have one rule: no relationships while my daughter is young. For seven years, that rule has kept her safe. Stable. Protected from the chaos her mother left behind.
Then Nora Harrison opens her door on the worst day of my life—my daughter asleep down her hallway, safe because of her. I should thank her. I should pick up my daughter and leave.
Instead, I kiss her. In her kitchen. Without a plan. While her golden retriever judges me.
In six weeks, a judge could give my ex access to the daughter she abandoned. Nora Harrison should be a witness. A professional contact. My daughter’s principal. Not the woman I can’t stop wanting.
I should end things with Nora. I’ve always done what’s necessary, no matter the cost. But this time? I don’t want to.
“Perfect for fans of forbidden single-dad romance, daughter’s-principal tension, high-stakes custody drama, protective heroes, and plus-size heroines who finally stop putting everyone ahead of themselves.”

What Readers Are Saying
I Loved This!
“Nora and David were pining for each other for some time both feeling unworthy of happiness. Such great plot. Such good spice. Thirties and forties love is mature and with less pretense. So good.”
— Christyn
Witty & Engaging
“Megan did it again! This book was witty and engaging, with a good amount of spice, but the plot wasn’t JUST spice! There were clever cameos and tied in nicely to the series but could be enjoyed as a standalone!”

Perfect Balance
