Chapter One

She's a sharp-tongued, bourbon-sipping single mum with a soft spot for chaos and zero tolerance for bullshit. He's a walking contradiction-sunshine in a six-foot frame, a twin dad who smiles through every storm. When their worlds collide at Little Loves Early Years Learning Centre, Amira finds herself caught between the rules she's built to survive and the man who makes breaking them feel too damn good.

With kids, careers, secrets, and scars between them, falling in love was never part of the plan. But some disasters are worth the mess.
