After unexpectedly finding himself a single dad, Hayes must balance fatherhood and a custody battle with his demanding role as CIO at Cartwright & Sons, as he strives to win not just his daughter's custody but also his defense lawyer's heart.

Standalone in the Cartwright Brothers series

***

Hayes never envisioned himself as a father or a husband. Content with his bachelor lifestyle, he's blindsided when he suddenly becomes the sole caregiver for his unexpected infant daughter. Uncertain about his ability to parent and torn about whether to keep her, he struggles to balance fatherhood with his demanding role as CIO at Cartwright & Sons. Just when he thinks he's getting the hang of it, his world is upended once again when he's hit with a custody lawsuit.

Enter Deanna, an associate lawyer and former hookup of Hayes. She has crushed on him for years and despite knowing the risks of getting involved with a client, Deanna takes on his case due to their past history and her own experiences growing up in an abusive home. Initially skeptical about Hayes's parenting abilities, the more time they spend together the blurrier the lines get between what's ethical and what her heart desires.

Perfect Fate ✔ (Will Be Moved To Inkitt on 4th Of FEB) by fanoshkaflippo

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.

"You're going to make a mistake, Mr. Sullivan." I deliberately used his last name, knowing how easily it annoyed him. I should have held back, but I couldn't resist teasing him. His jaw clenched, and his eyes darkened, my words clearly hitting a nerve. He slipped his hand behind my neck and pulled me closer, until our faces were just inches apart. "If wanting you is a mistake, then it's one I'm willing to make",His deep voice rumbled from his chest, reverberating through me. I swallowed hard, forcing a smile. "I've warned you, Neil. But if you're still choosing me then let's do this before I change my mind and kick you out of my room." My voice was barely a whisper. His eyes searched mine, looking for hesitation, but all he found was raw desire. Desire to be possessed by him. Desire to be controlled by him. Desire to be used by him. He released me and took two steps back, his gaze sweeping over me before a sinister smile curled on his lips. "Get on your knees bella." His dark, commanding tone pierced the air, making me realize the gravity of what I had asked for. ⫘⫘⫘ Two famous personalities. Two different lifestyles. But one unexpected kiss changed everything.

What he didn't plan on was Elenora Borelli, the enigmatic and fiery daughter of his enemy. Reeling from recent heartbreak, Elenora will stop at nothing to find her happiness. But when she finds herself pressured into an engagement with the dark and mysterious Federico, happiness may be the least of her problems. Hellbent on sabotaging the arrangement, Elenora defies Federico in ways no one else would ever dare. Too bad Federico's never been one to back down from a challenge. Especially one that calls to him in the most feral and passionate of ways. With unforeseen betrayals and new rivals, perhaps the real challenge Federico must face is deciding whether to fight his feelings for Elenora or give into them. But even if he chooses to end his long-standing vendetta against her father for mounting sparks between them, there's no guarantee she'll risk her heart on him. *Content Advisory: This story contains coarse language, scenes with violence and mature sexual content.
