Kiss Me, Single Dad

He stopped believing in second chances. Then she rescued his daughter—and destroyed every wall he'd built.
Caleb Walker doesn't do relationships. Not anymore.
Six years ago, he buried his wife and became the only thing standing between his little girl and a world that had already taken too much from them. Every woman who's entered his life since has looked at him with pity in her eyes or ambition in her heart—trying to fix him, replace what he lost, or play house in a grief they couldn't possibly understand.
He's done. Ellie is enough. The two of them are fine.
Until the day he forgets his daughter on early dismissal day, and the woman next door is the one who saves her.
Bryn Malone is sunshine in human form—warm and soft and entirely too cheerful for a man who's made grumpiness his personality. She looks at him like he's a disaster. He doesn't disagree. He apologizes. She keeps her distance. He tells himself that's exactly what he wanted.
Then a winter storm sends a tree crashing through her roof, and suddenly Bryn is living in his house.
For three days, she bakes cookies with Ellie at midnight. She laughs at his scowls instead of flinching. She slides into the empty spaces of their broken little life so naturally it terrifies him—because nothing has felt this easy, this right, in six years. And when his daughter finally falls asleep, Caleb backs Bryn against the kitchen counter and kisses her until the cookies burn.
He can't stop. He doesn't want to.
Three days trapped together, and he's completely ruined.
When the storm clears, Bryn is the one who pulls back. She leaves to give them space—gentle, generous, and heartbreakingly selfless, just like everything else she does. Caleb tells himself it's for the best. That Ellie doesn't need the disruption. That he doesn't need the complication.
Two weeks later, his daughter packs a bag and shows up at Bryn's door.
Ellie doesn't want space.
She wants a mom.
And Caleb Walker is one breath away from dropping every wall he's ever built and begging the woman next door to come home—not because Ellie needs her, but because he does.
Some storms destroy everything in their path.
Others clear the way for something better.
He's not letting her walk away again.
