Her Trust Issues: BWWM Interracial Single Father Parent Second Chance Romance (Ready-Made Hearts (Single parents. Second chances)) by Daniel T. Wulf

Zoe Mitchell didn't get where she is by waiting for doors to open. She kicked them in. Thirty-four years old, sharp as a blade, and finally building the career she fought for — the last thing she needs is a distraction. Especially not one who shows up to her agency in a tailored suit, challenges her analysis in the first thirty seconds of meeting her, and then has the nerve to be right about it. Julian Calloway is the kind of man whose calls get returned immediately. Wealthy, composed, and carrying the particular exhaustion of someone who has been running too fast for too long. He didn't come looking for Zoe. But something about the way she refuses to treat him like a celebrity — the way she pushes back, disagrees, and means every word she says — makes him want to stay in whatever room she's in. What starts as professional friction becomes something neither of them planned for. Long evenings in the office stretch into longer conversations. A business dinner that was never quite only business. The slow, inconvenient realization that the person who challenges you most might also be the one who sees you clearest. But between them stands everything that should make this impossible — his world of galas and old money and people who have opinions about who belongs in it, her refusal to be anyone's idea of convenient, and a sharp, guarded eleven-year-old boy who has already decided she's just another woman passing through his father's life.
