The job listing did not mention the wolf.

It mentioned everything else, in the careful, lawyered language of people with money and something to hide: live-in childcare, single father, remote estate, discretion mandatory, exceptional compensation. It mentioned that the last three nannies had “moved on.” It did not mention that the brooding, impossible man at the top of the mountain — or the six-year-old girl he'd do anything to protect — was not entirely human.

Ren Calder has built her whole life around one hard-won rule: you cannot lose what you never let yourself hold. She raised her little sister alone. She ends things before they can hurt her. She needs nothing and no one — which is exactly why a remote estate with no signal, an eviction notice in her glovebox, and a tuition bill she can't pay make the single dad's impossible salary impossible to refuse.

She did not plan on Posy, the fierce, funny little girl who decides Ren is hers. She did not plan on Caleb Thorne — all controlled stillness and grief and heat, a grumpy mountain of a man thawing one reluctant inch at a time under a woman who answers his silences with light. And she absolutely did not plan on the thing that happens the first time he looks at her like he already knows her: the pull neither of them chose, the bond his kind calls fated, the one thing Ren's whole armored life was built to survive without.

Now, snowed in on a mountain with a man she can't stop wanting and a child she's terrified to love, Ren has to decide whether the safest thing — leaving — is worth more than the most dangerous thing she's ever been offered: a home, a family, and a mate who will spend the rest of his life choosing her, if she'll only stop being small enough to be safe.

The Single Alpha's Nanny is the first book in the Moonline Pack series — a slow-burn, fated-mate shifter romance with a single-dad alpha, a grumpy-sunshine pull worth the wait, and a happy-ever-after worth the climb.

No cheating. No cliffhanger. A fated bond he'd burn down the world to keep. One-click and come up the mountain.
