Before the rules.
Before the investigations.
Before trust became everything.
Emily Martin isn’t looking for forever. Between caring for her mother and recovering from relationships that never offered real safety, she’s learned to keep her expectations low, and her heart guarded. One date is all she’s agreed to. Nothing more.
James Logan isn’t interested in casual. Recently retired from the Navy and building his private investigation firm in New York, he knows exactly what he wants—and what he won’t compromise on. Control, for him, isn’t about power. It’s about care, responsibility, and commitment.
What begins as a single evening quickly becomes something neither of them anticipated. A charged connection. An unsettling sense of rightness. And a pull neither is prepared to walk away from.
But trust isn’t given lightly. It’s earned—through honesty, boundaries, and the courage to choose something real when it would be easier to walk away.
Daddy P.I. 0.5 is an emotionally intense, high-heat prequel that tells the story of how Logan and Emily meet, connect, and take the first step toward a deeply bonded relationship.
Publisher’s Note:
This prequel introduces the central couple of the Daddy P.I. series and is best read before Daddy P.I. 1.0. While lighter on external plot, it lays the emotional foundation for the series and is intended for mature readers.
Genre: Romance
