Knead Love

Jonah
Four-year-old twins deserve stability, not another person who’ll walk away when things get complicated.
That’s why I’ve kept my distance from the beautiful woman who just became their nanny, even though her sunshine smile makes my carefully controlled world feel a little less lonely.
But when Chloe starts turning our house into a home—when she loves Ava and Mia like they’re hers, when she looks at me like I’m more than just a tired single dad covered in flour—I can’t help falling.
Except loving Chloe means risking everything.
She has dreams, a teaching career waiting for her, and I can’t be the reason another woman sacrifices what she wants.
Not again.
Not after my ex chose her dreams over us.
But damn it, I want to choose Chloe.

Chloe
I came back to Valentine for a temporary job, not to fall in love with a devoted single dad and his adorable twin daughters.
Jonah Westerland is everything I didn’t know I needed —kind, selfless, protective— and watching him with his girls makes my heart ache in the best way.
But when my dream teaching position finally opens up, I’m faced with an impossible choice: the career I’ve worked for, or the family I never expected to find.
Then Jonah tells me to take the job, practically pushing me toward the door, and I realize something terrifying— I don’t want what I thought I wanted.
I want this.
I want them.
I want him.
Now I just have to convince him that some dreams are worth rewriting.
Can two broken hearts find the courage to choose love, or will fear keep them from the family they were always meant to be?
