The Hero I Need

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Nicole Snow returns with a hilariously intense small-town love story where two star-crossed hearts and one snarly tiger ignite a romance up-roar.

He knew I was trouble the instant I showed up with a stolen Bengal tiger. But Grady McKnight didn't flinch like a sane person—he took us in. Bruce the tiger found shelter. I met a hero grump. And Grady got a hot mess. Namely, me.

Born-to-sizzle single dads and rogue zoologists don't play nice. So freaking what if I said I'm his nanny? We needed a story when his two sweet daughters barged in. Hiding a contraband tiger isn't easy. Neither is pretending he isn't sending my pulse to pitter-patter heaven.

Cupid, you sneaky little nugget. There's only room for one hulking, growly, mesmerizing beast in my life. I don't belong at warm family dinners, or in the fortress of his arms. Saving Bruce is my mission—not falling in love. This won't end well.

The longer I stay, the more he grins. Walls come crashing down. And my heart becomes willing prey for his carnivorous eyes. I must resist Grady flipping McKnight. Even if a scared, aching part of me knows I'm already his. Even if I know he's the hero I need...

Full-length romance thriller with the growliest Happily Ever After. It's claws and effect when a wounded single dad saves a firestarter—along with her tiger, his girls, and his own beat-up heart.
