Free Single Dad Romance Book: Ink & Order by Rowan Black — A Tattooed Single Dad, a Chaotic Live-In Nanny, and Rules Made to Be Broken
Want a free MF single-dad nanny romance with a grumpy tattoo artist, a sunshine disaster of an artist, D/s dynamics, and praise kink? Ink & Order by Rowan Black is yours — completely free, no strings.
What’s the Book About?
Silas Vane built his life on control. A single father and owner of Portland’s most exclusive tattoo shop, he’s perfected the art of keeping people at arm’s length. His rules are simple: don’t let anyone in, don’t let anyone close, and never let anyone see the darkness that made his ex-wife walk away.
Lily Hart is a walking disaster. Paint-stained, perpetually late, freshly facing eviction, and incapable of following a schedule, she’s the last person who should apply to be a live-in nanny for the most intimidating man she’s ever met. But she’s desperate, he’s desperate, and his five-year-old daughter is more stubborn than both of them combined.
The rules were supposed to keep them apart. No entering his bedroom. No disrupting his routines. No falling for the grumpy tattoo artist who looks at her like she’s both a problem to solve and a masterpiece to study. But Lily has never been good at following rules — and Silas is discovering that some chaos is worth letting in.
Why Readers Love This One
A man who runs his house like a precision instrument, a woman who can’t keep a sock drawer, and a set of rules that exist mostly to be broken — with consequences. The “she’s not allowed in my bedroom” rule alone is worth the price of admission, which in this case is zero.
Under the control is a single dad who falls hard, and a heroine who has spent her life being told she’s too much finally hearing that her chaos is a feature, not a flaw. Plus June: a dinosaur-obsessed five-year-old and her stuffed triceratops Theodore, who steal every scene they’re in.
