Book One: Daddy [ The Vale Universe Collection Series] [strong mature themes]

Book One of The Vale Universe Collection Series. 

He doesn't believe in love.

He believes in control.

Nathaniel Vale built his world on rules: no emotions, no attachments, no babies. As a dominant, he keeps things clean, contractual, and contained. Pleasure. Pain. Consent. End of story.

Until Elara.

Shy, curious, and aching for something she doesn't fully understand, Elara steps into his world knowing exactly what she's agreeing to: to be claimed, marked, guided. What begins as a controlled arrangement quickly ignites into something far more dangerous.

Because Elara doesn't just surrender her body.

She reaches for his heart.

Nathaniel has one rule above all others-never again will he risk love or fatherhood. A past loss still shadows him, and he swore he would never repeat that mistake.

But Elara refuses to be just another submissive. She wants all of him-his strength, his scars, and the man beneath the title.

As boundaries blur and emotions rise, Nathaniel must decide: retreat into control... or risk everything for a woman who makes him question every rule he's ever written.

"Daddy" is a scorching, emotionally charged romance about power, vulnerability, and the first crack in a man who thought he could never fall.
