Nina My best friend’s dad has been my secret obsession for five years.
Every Thanksgiving, every Christmas, every casual weekend visit—I’ve perfected the art of not staring at Joel Hartford across the dinner table.
But when my boyfriend dumps me for being too “curvy” two days before Christmas and a historic blizzard traps me alone with Joel in his Connecticut house, all that careful distance evaporates.
Especially when he looks at me like he’s been holding back just as long as I have.
Joel I’m a forty-eight-year-old orthopedic surgeon who thought he’d buried his inappropriate feelings for his daughter’s twenty-five-year-old best friend.
Then Nina shows up on my doorstep heartbroken and crying, the airports close, and suddenly we’re snowed in for three days with nowhere to hide. I’ve spent five years being the responsible adult.
Five years keeping my hands to myself. But watching some idiot make her believe she’s anything less than perfect? I’m done being noble. Done pretending.
And definitely done letting her think any man wouldn’t worship every curve.

Christmas Daddy is a steamy age-gap romance featuring a forbidden crush that’s been simmering for years, only one house, three days of a snowstorm, daddy kink that sneaks up on them both, body worship for a plus-size heroine, and a surgeon who’s very good with his hands.
Includes a best friend who needs time (and therapy) to process, but ultimately gives her blessing.
