Dirty Sweet Daddy (Dirty Sweet Heroes #1)

Kate Bennett has been in love with her dad’s best friend for as long as she can remember. Lucas made a promise years ago. If anything ever happened to his best friend, he’d take care of Kate.

Back then, that promise was simple.

Now the shy girl he remembers has turned into a soft-voiced woman with wide eyes that follow him through the halls and a smile that lands like a match to dry tinder.

Every glance from her chips away at the iron discipline Lucas has built around himself.

She’s supposed to be under his protection. Not under his skin.

Kate doesn’t seem to understand the rules Lucas is trying to enforce.

She drifts into his office with innocent questions, lingers too close in the kitchen, looks at him like she’s already decided something dangerous.

Like she belongs to him. Lucas knows the line he’s not supposed to cross. She’s his best friend’s daughter. She’s living under his roof.

And if he gives in to the possessive hunger clawing at his control, there will be no going back.

But the truth keeps getting louder. Kate didn’t come to the estate just for safety. She came for him.

And once Lucas Hale realizes the sweet girl he vowed to protect is the woman determined to claim him, there’s no force on earth strong enough to keep his hands off what’s his.

Will Lucas keep the promise he made to his best friend, or will he claim the daughter who’s already given him her heart?

A steamy age-gap romance featuring a possessive guardian hero, a determined heroine, forced proximity, best friend’s daughter tension, slow-burn obsession, and an over-the-top protective man who falls first and hardest.

Safe, filthy devotion with a guaranteed HEA.
