Under The Lights
A Single Dad, Rockstar/Nanny, Grumpy/Sunshine, Contemporary Romance
He thought the spotlight was all he’d ever need.
Then a tragedy made him a father overnight.
Slater Reynolds never planned on parenthood. But when a paternity test and a young mother’s Will prove that the four-year-old girl left behind is his, the state shows up at his door with custody papers and a toddler he’s never met.
His world of rock tours, afterparties, and late-night chaos isn’t made for bedtime stories or cookie crumbs. The harder he tries, the more he sees just how impossible fatherhood is on his own.
Enter Olivia “Liv” Brooks—the nanny who turns disaster into magic. With her steady hands and softer heart, she soothes Rosie, fills Slater’s empty house with warmth, and makes him want to come home instead of running from it.
But Liv is supposed to be temporary. Just help through the New Year.
So why can’t he stop watching her with Rosie and wondering what it would be like if she stayed?
The closer Christmas gets, the harder it is to ignore the pull between them. A stolen touch under the twinkle of holiday lights. A kiss that tastes like promises he’s afraid to make. A night with only one bed and nowhere to hide.
Slater swore he'd never risk his heart again. Liv knows better than to fall for her boss.
But under the lights—on stage, on the tree, in each other’s eyes—they might just find the family they never believed they deserved.
