Another Charge by Alexa Padgett

He’s sexy as sin… and if someone doesn’t check me fast, I’m gonna fall for the single dad hockey coach.

Having poured my heart into caring for my previous charges, bidding them farewell left an indelible ache that I couldn’t bear to repeat. The idea of restarting as a nanny didn’t excite me in the least…until I crossed paths with Beatrix, a frightened and angry little girl who tugged at my heartstrings. Determined to help this vulnerable child who craves affection, I find myself drawn to her uncle, the irresistible Silas. His magnetic eyes, capable of holding me captive, promise to fulfill the dreams I’ve long held dear. Silas, scarred by a troubled past, knows next to nothing about raising children or creating a loving home. That’s where I step in. They call me a “fixer” in the world of hockey. Yet, I question whether I can mend the fractures between uncle and niece. Despite my doubts, the life we could build together beckons me. The catch? Taking a chance on this single dad might land my heart in the penalty box for good… The author on her writing style and goals:

“I write deep stories about real people. Some of my books are angsty, some are emotional, all are about family, acceptance, and growth. I love all the feels.” Alexa Padgett
