A Merry Penthouse Christmas

Real life is rarely a fairytale.

Beau de León only ever wanted the simple things in life. A steady job as a middle school history teacher, a faithful wife, and to one day become a dad. Recently, however, he lost out on all three.

Putting back the pieces of his life after his divorce, having discovered his wife was cheating on him and that their baby was not his, Beau's luck continues to go from bad to worse when he can't find a job in his field. Although his luck might be taking a turn for the better when he meets Arik, a single billionaire who did just become a father and needs a nanny.

Ariel "Arik" Anders only ever wanted the best in life. Success in his exceptionally lucrative business ventures, no serious relationships to tie him down, and to play as hard as he works. Recently, however, his priorities took a turn.

Rearranging his life after his ex informed him that she was pregnant and planning to have the baby but not raise it herself, Arik asked for full custody, which could be the biggest mistake he has ever made. Although he might be able to survive fatherhood after meeting Beau, the too cute for his own good out of work teacher he hires to be his nanny.

Spending time in each other's company doesn't mean they'll fall into bed together. That would be a terrible idea! Worse would be if some magical holiday timing and circumstance causes them to catch feelings.

A Merry Penthouse Christmas is a standalone short story as part of the multi-author collaboration Single Dads All the Way. You can expect some mutual pining between boss and employee in this mostly sweet holiday romance with occasional hurt/comfort and a guaranteed HEA.
