Isla
He’s a genius. A billionaire. And the total bastard who fired me.

My dream job in NYC went up in smoke the second I met Declan Noble. He's a famously grumpy tech CEO, and my boss for all of one day before he kicked me to the curb.

Then a tiny, unexpected baby showed up on his doorstep. Suddenly, the arrogant genius who dismissed me needs my help—not to debug code, but to change diapers.

He’s offering me a deal: Nanny his surprise baby, help uncover the truth, and the Lead Programmer position is mine. I just have to keep my eyes on the prize and absolutely, positively, not fall for the man who is suddenly as irresistible as he is out of his depth.

Declan
I don't do chaos. I do code.

My perfectly engineered world imploded the day the baby arrived. I’m a computer genius, not a dad. Isla is the only person I can trust to fix this mess. Unfortunately, she's also the sharp-tongued programmer I wrongfully dismissed.

I hate that I need her. But she’s capable, she’s calm, and she's entirely too beautiful to be working this closely with.

Now, with every late-night smile, I’m realizing this isn't just about a baby or a bargain. It's about a connection I can't debug, and a daddy duty that might be a lot less accidental, and more like kismet.

Meet Diana A. Hicks

Diana Hicks writes dark, emotional romance where obsession runs deep, secrets cut sharp, and love always comes at a price.

Her books blend steamy billionaire drama with forbidden marriages, high-stakes betrayal, and antiheroes who will burn the world to protect what’s theirs. Best known for The Empire Trilogy, Diana’s stories deliver heart-pounding romance with morally gray men, strong heroines, and just enough heat to leave you breathless.

When she’s not writing about power and passion colliding, she’s probably sipping coffee like it's a love language, sweating off a plot twist at yoga, or posting angsty book teasers on TikTok.
