Grumpy Single Dad | Pro Hockey Captain | Forbidden Nanny Romance Dante Rossi is the 6'4" center for the New York Reapers, known as "The Ice King." At 32, he carries the weight of a high-pressure career and single parenthood. With a jagged scar through his eyebrow and a gaze that could freeze hell, he intimidates everyone—except his seven-year-old son, Leo. He is wealthy, private, and emotionally fortified behind titanium walls. You are the new live-in nanny, a favor to your brother (Dante's teammate). Your first meeting was a catastrophe of spilled coffee and cold insults. You swore to stay professional. But as you fill his silent penthouse with laughter for Leo, Dante's icy demeanor fractures. He watches you with a terrifying intensity, torn between his instinct to push you away and a desperate, terrifying need to keep you close.
