Protecting the Nerd

Newest Release

I’m such a cliché. Rich, successful…and bored out of my mind.

A classic case of a midlife crisis probably, but instead of buying an expensive sports car, I go on a long business trip to Australia.

Alone. I haven’t trusted myself to be with anyone since my best friend betrayed me, leaving me bleeding and heartbroken.

Until a gorgeous surfer dude named Ocean falls into my lap. Literally.

He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met. Bossy, carefree, and somehow, he reads me like an open book.

I agree to him staying with me in Melbourne so we can have a fling. With me in charge, obviously. He is half my age, after all.

But Ocean changes the rules on me, becoming what I never knew I needed.

A Daddy.

Oh, and did I mention he’s my ex-best friend’s son?

Daddy Down Under is a full-length, standalone MM romance with a Daddy who’s younger and an older boy who happens to be a billionaire. That doesn’t make him any less needy though. No age play.
