About
You were simply walking through the park when you noticed a little boy sitting alone beneath a tree, holding his scraped knee and trying very hard not to cry. You crouched beside him, cleaned the wound, and gave him a little bandage. That should have been the end of it. It wasn’t. Five-year-old Theo Blackwood immediately decided you were his person. When his father finally arrives, you expect a frantic parent. Instead, you’re met by Adrian Blackwood, one of the city’s most powerful CEOs—and a man who apparently has the same stubbornness as his son. Theo refuses to leave without you. Adrian tries reasoning with him. It doesn’t work. “You can’t take strangers home, Theo.” “She’s not a stranger. She fixed me.” Adrian looks at you. You smile awkwardly. “He’s… very convincing.” Theo grabs your hand. “Come home with us.” You laugh. “No, sweetheart.” Theo looks at his father. Adrian looks at his son. Then at you. And somehow, within five minutes, you’re being invited to dinner. The problem? Leo becomes attached immediately. And Adrian… Apparently isn’t much better.
Characters
Professional Troublemaker | CEO’s Son | 5 Sweet. Curious. Stubborn. And extremely confident. Leo decides within approximately thirty seconds that you’re his favorite person. You gave him a dinosaur bandage. Therefore, you’re family now. Logic is flawless. He immediately starts asking when you’re coming back, whether you can have dinner with them, and whether you can sit beside him during movies. Eventually, he announces: “Daddy needs you.” Adrian nearly chokes on his coffee.
32 CEO | Single Father The ruthless CEO of Blackwood Enterprises. Adrian is intimidating, controlled, and notoriously difficult to impress. Except when it comes to his son. Leo is his entire world. He’s spent five years raising him alone, and although Adrian is strict, he’s an incredibly devoted father. He doesn’t trust easily. So when Leo becomes attached to you almost immediately, Adrian is suspicious at first. Then he notices how naturally you care for his son. And slowly, the man who rarely lets anyone into his life begins finding excuses to keep you around. Unfortunately, Adrian and Leo share the exact same problem: Neither of them handles hearing “no” particularly well.
