Tanner’s eyes are glued on Emilia and her movements, touching all the correct body parts along with the music. Head, shoulders, knees, and toes. But seeing Emilia and Tanner smile at each other as if this is the best day of their lives, does something to me. Lila mentioned that he went to daycare, so I hope that will make it easier for him to get used to us and my rigid routine. After one long look at his son, Jace lets out a stifled breath, rubbing his hands over his face. He gazes into the distance, and I give him this moment to decompress, before he sets his gaze on me. “Where are you parked?”

I wave him off. “It’s no problem, I promise. I know from experience that the nastiness only gets worse the longer you wait. And trust me, you don’t want that sort of stink to sink in.” The two of them look so serene together, so natural and content, like they’ve been a unit their whole lives. She might be a bit odd at times and dress crazy, but tonight, she saved me from going overboard, from losing my shit when I had to keep it together for my son. Fans call me the king of the water. I'm focused, driven, and most importantly, I win. Life as a professional swimmer comes with sacrifices, but they’ve never worried me. I’m used to life with little room for anything but training, eating, and sleeping. Nothing more, nothing less. When a son I knew nothing about lands on my doorstep—and a crazy but very beautiful nanny shortly after—my life is turned upside down. Allowing any change into my life could put my goals and dreams in jeopardy, and I’ve worked too hard and too long for them. When I’m tempted to look beyond lap times and medals to bedtime stories and the possibility of love, I face one of the hardest questions of my is it worth the risk? Fresh Meet is a fun, sweet, and sexy sports romance and the second book in The Kings Of The Water series. All books in this series can be read as standalones. Jace Atwood is amazing. I loved how he was this gorgeous, sexy, charming man who was so confident in himself but give him a toddler and he knew he needed help. It made him real, because he threw himself into the role so hard, but knew he needed to learn from Millie along the way. He was vulnerable with her about not only becoming a father but other things in his life and the more he reveals about himself, the deeper I fell in love with him alongside Millie. I won’t say he doesn’t have his flaws, but as a professional athlete he’s competitive and a sore loser, but he more than makes up for it when he realises he’s in the wrong.
My life is incredibly structured. Everything from my training sessions, to my meals, and the times I go to sleep and wake up. It’s all scheduled, and I love it. Too bad he’s right. I was freezing my booty off on the way here and wasn’t looking forward to the drive home. Yeah?” Familiar unease whenever my “job” is brought up washes through me, and even though I know Nicole is nothing like my family, I’m still waiting for the criticism, for the words that voice disapproval for my occupation—or as other people like to call it, my childish attempt at embarrassing my family.

Emilia.""Yeah?" She looks over her shoulder, her red hair framing her pale face like a burning halo. Nicole doesn’t blink an eye. She’s used to this on an almost daily basis. Thank goodness for technology. It makes my life so much easier, and so much less embarrassing. His gaze finds mine, and he shakes his head. “Of course you didn’t. It’s not like he has a chance against you. They don’t call you king of the water for no reason.”

Tanner has only been with me for a few days—after a thankfully short paternity-establishment in court—and I still feel like I got on a roller coaster but haven’t gotten off it yet. It’s not often that you gain custody of a two-year-old you didn’t even know existed until a few weeks ago. This is what I excel at, calming myself down enough to shut out the entire world around me. This is my strength and why I’m such a fierce competitor in the water. I realized on day one that Tanner does talk, a lot actually, but it’s mostly random babbling that no one but he understands. In a word, he’s incredible. When Jace told me what had happened to Tanner, I truly thought I’d have to deal with a distraught, confused, and very quiet young boy that I’d need to coax and calm and coddle.

Jace’s butt follows me into the shower—not literally, of course—and I try to distract myself by singing songs from Moana. I keep my voice down but still hit all the high notes as if I’m performing in front of a sold-out auditorium. I’m about to get up too—feeling awkward being the only one sitting—when a high-pitched shriek rings through the room.
If I didn’t have high blood pressure before, I’m sure I have it after tonight. Of course I’ve worried about other people before—my friends and family—but I’ve never experienced anything like the last few hours. As heroines go, Millie was one of my favourites. Although this wasn’t her dream role, she really gave it her all and fell hook line and sinker for not only Tanner but his dad too. She was such a good nanny for Tanner, but I also loved her personality too. She wanted so hard to be enough for her family, but with the help of Jace, she finally realised her self-worth and, in the end, stood up for herself when she knew she deserved more. Watching her break down the barriers she put up around herself after her childhood was amazing, as she realised how strong she was and followed her dream. When a son I knew nothing about lands on my doorstep—and a crazy but very beautiful nanny shortly after—my life is turned upside down. Allowing any change into my life could put my goals and dreams in jeopardy, and I’ve worked too hard and too long for them. Hunter doesn’t miss a beat, grabbing his stuff and falling into step beside me. “Oh, come on, dude, give me something. She’s smoking hot.” My throat feels dry, and I take a sip of my coffee. “He is. The court was willing to speed things up as much as they could since we had all the necessary paperwork and paternity tests done right away.”

I study Emilia. The way her lips quirk up at the corners when she murmurs soft words to Tanner, and the way her eyes shine when she giggles with him. She gives me a hesitant smile like this is the first goodbye we share. "Night, Jace.""Night, Emilia."

Something that’s hard to fathom. To not know you have a child, just to have it practically shoved into your life—a very busy one at that—after learning the woman you were involved with died. I hope not, but I can ask her.” She taps on her phone a few times before looking at me. “You sure?” Emilia nods. “I’m clearly no doctor or speech therapist, but I’ve met and worked with a lot of kids. Most children can talk at his age. Some can talk your ear off while others don’t at all. One of the girls at the show had full-on conversations at eighteen months while another boy excelled at signing but didn’t start verbalizing until three. And then he started reading at the same time. Their little minds are something else, and we can’t put them all in the same box.”
