The Shape of Trust

About

A single dad who never expected to be a father. A woman who makes him want everything he’s afraid to need.

Webb Walters has already lived one life on the wild side. Addiction cost him nearly everything, but he’s fought his way back and finally has his future under control.

Then he discovers he has a five-year-old daughter.

Suddenly, stock figures and startups take a back seat to hair scrunchies, bedtime stories, and a fiery little girl who needs a father she can count on. Webb knows what it feels like to lose a parent. He refuses to let his daughter down.

He just has no idea what he’s doing.

Then Lily Rose becomes nanny number three.

Beautiful, warmhearted Lily—with her funky clothes and love of eighties hair bands—has a way with his daughter that Webb desperately needs. She’s young, but responsibility is nothing new to her, and Webb quickly realizes there’s far more to Lily than he expected.

Unfortunately, she also has a way of slipping past the defenses he’s spent years building.

Lily is irresistible, off-limits, and ten years younger than a man who knows exactly how dangerous wanting something too much can be.

Webb has learned how to rebuild a life.

Now he has to learn whether he can trust himself with the two people who might finally make it complete.

A witty and emotional contemporary romance featuring a surprise daughter, an overwhelmed single dad, a younger nanny, age-gap attraction, and a hard-won journey toward family, trust, and love.
