Anchor: A Single Dad, Protector Hero Romance
By Nicole Blanchard / Genre: Romance, Contemporary Fiction
He doesn’t know me, but he’ll die to save me.
Or at least, that’s the gist I get when I’m taken hostage by a psycho with a gun. He’d meant to take a little girl, but I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t try to save her. Now I’m in her place instead and my captor is determined to blow it sky high unless his demands are met.
She doesn’t know me, but I owe her everything.
My daughter is my world. After I gave up my career as a Marine to move closer to be with her, I thought I would stay out of danger. And yet here I am diving right back into it.
The rush of adrenaline at a new mission is almost as enticing as the woman who saved my daughter. Getting distracted by her sharp wit and bravery is the last thing I should do, but I can’t help but be drawn to her despite the danger.
If we make it to morning, maybe I’ll work up the nerve to take the biggest risk of all…losing my heart.

When the primary school where I work asks me to find someone to play Santa at the Christmas fair, I’m happy to oblige. Suddenly, though, every person I know is conveniently busy. The only guy available has the least amount of festive spirit of anyone I’ve ever met.
Alex Winters is the grumpiest man alive, but he is helping Finn to walk again, so I’m willing to overlook his grouchy temperament. It has nothing to do with the fact that he’s the most gorgeous guy ever to wear a Santa suit. Unfortunately, though, he seems to find my sunshine personality more irritating than attractive, which is why, when he asks me to sit on his knee and tell him what I want for Christmas, I refuse to comply. But then he calls me a brat and threatens to put me over his knee, and suddenly I’m getting festive tingles in all the right places.
Finn hero-worships him, so as a special treat for my wheelchair-bound boy, and a secret present for myself, I invite Alex in for a drink after the office Christmas party. He turns out to have a heart of gold, frankincense, and myrrh that makes me melt. And his revelation of what he really thinks about me is a gift I never expected to get.
The twelve days of Christmas turn out to be a magical mystery tour that leaves me longing for more. But Alex is hiding a secret that’s going to turn my world upside down…
