I’ve been called a lot of things in my life—gruff, intense, overprotective—but grumpy? That’s a new one.

After losing my wife, I left the noise of professional hockey and billion-dollar boardrooms behind, trading city chaos for small-town peace in Passion Pointe, Tennessee. I’ve got one mission: raise my son right and keep our world calm, quiet, and free from emotional chaos.

Then Linda Carter shows up, all curves, sass, and bright opinions wrapped in a nanny application.

She’s completely wrong for the job… and somehow, exactly what my son needs.

What I didn’t expect? That I’d need her just as much.

One smile from her turns my world upside down. One laugh makes the walls I’ve built start to crack. And the way she looks at me? It’s dangerous.

But she’s got rules, and so do I.
Rule #1: Don’t get attached.
Rule #2: Don’t mix business with pleasure.
Rule #3: Definitely don’t fall for the nanny.

Too late.

Because the more time I spend with Linda, the more I realize this fiery, big-hearted woman isn’t just helping us heal—she might be the piece we didn’t know we were missing.

And if breaking every rule is what it takes to make her ours?

Well then...

They can call me grumpy all they want.

"Rule #1: Never Call Him Grumpy" is a heartwarming closed-door hockey romance featuring a protective billionaire single dad, a sassy curvy nanny who refuses to be intimidated, and the small town that might just help them heal. Perfect for readers who love emotional stories with all the feels but none of the steam.

This is book one in a new series. It's short so an afternoon or evening read. 

I love single dad and Nanny books. 

Noah is so cute. This is a really good sweet, clean romance. I really enjoyed it. If you like grumpy, sunshine, age gap, nanny/ boss, small town romance and a clean romance you will love this.

EXCERPT:

“They want a fight,” Townson growls, his voice steady but burning with conviction, “so we’ll give them one— but not

because we crave revenge!” His face contorts with emotion, locking eyes with his people. “Not because we thirst for blood!”

He raises a talon high into the air, his black claws curling into a fist with a loud, menacing crack. “But because we are family, and we stand together against any foe!”

Tears well in the eyes of many in the crowd, stirred by a fierce mix of fear and inspiration.

“BECAUSE WE ARE ALL DEGENERATES!” His voice erupts, a flash of fury in his eyes, as a supernatural wind howls from his aura. “WANTED BY NONE—” he roars, his words shaking the room, “AT HOME WITH EACH OTHER!”

A 2023 Witchy Award nominee, Jack Townson, a multi-talented artist, is the heart and soul of the thriving FangFam community across various social media platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch.

Jack extends an invitation to his followers, beckoning them to peer into the psyche of an undead bohemian—an artist and a creature of the night, eternally ensnared in a world of nightmares. It’s a life devoid of sunlight’s warmth and the enduring embrace of true love, offering a unique glimpse into the enigmatic existence he portrays through his creative endeavors.

Fiver Fingers of Death (Owens Protective Services Book 29) by Giulia Lagomarsino Book tour with Cat's Review @giulialagomarsinoauthor @enticingjourney @tammystwocents X- @crzybookladyluv @EJBookPromos @TTCBooksandmore

Title: Five Fingers of Death: An OPS Protector Romance

Series: Owens Protective Services, Book 29

Author: Giulia Lagomarsino

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: May 26, 2025

Cover Design: TE Black Designs

Cover Image: Wander Aguiar

Refers to the five primary methods of killing an enemy or neutralizing a threat.

Firepower, maneuver, intelligence, logistics, communication.

It was practically a code I lived by.

After serving for years under Rafe, it was highly unlikely I’d change a damn thing about that code. He’d ingrained every ounce of that mentality into my head, and that was after the military did it first.

But now he was dead, and the one person I’d always pushed away was the only person I couldn’t keep off my mind. So, I went to her, willing to risk it all to see if she’d have me.

But I was too late.

All those dreams went out the window in a flash, leaving me with the one secret she’d managed to keep from me all these years.

And that secret came in the form of a small, adorable girl.

I knew absolutely nothing about being a father, but this was one mission I wouldn’t fail at, no matter what life threw at me. She was the one pure part of my world that no harm could come to.

But along with Rafe’s death came a promise that I couldn’t shake.

Look after his sister.

Isabelle was beyond messed up after being kidnapped and trapped on an island for the better part of thirteen years. Lord only knew the hell she suffered, but I made a promise, and there was no way in hell I would let him or anyone else down.

I didn’t expect to feel this protective of Isabelle. I didn’t think I’d care about her mental state or if she was happy. But I do, and now it’s my mission to make sure both Isabelle and my daughter are happy and safe.

And in my world, there is no option for failure.

Cat gives this book 15, Oops! 5 meows with a 2 purr heat index...

There are a few trigger warnings.. graphic violence and  mentions of rape.

Wow, Guilia out did herself! I figured Release Point would been unbeatable but, wow, was this epic.

I figured I would like Jason's story but never figured it would be my favorite of the series. We'll at least a tie with Foxes.

But I loved Jason even fell in love with Isabelle and you can't help but love Carli but I have a thing about single dad's.

Getting all of Isabelle's past finally was heartbreaking but good.

There is lots of action, betrayal and and more than one jaw-dropping moment. My jaw still hurts two days later. I can't wait to see what's next.

My phone rang again and I sighed, this time answering it, knowing he wouldn’t stop until I picked up. “What do you want?”

“Tahlia wants to know how long you’re staying in Minnesota,” Johnny rumbled, not sounding very thrilled that he was stuck in the middle of this conversation.

“Who said I was going to Minnesota?”

“You’ve been too fucking distracted for days. I saw you checking flights earlier, and when you couldn’t get a direct flight, you tossed a chair across the room.”

Fuck, I was really losing it if I didn’t see him there.

“It’s about fucking time you got your head out of your ass,” he grumbled.

“I never fucking said I was going to her.”

“Just don’t take too fucking long. Tahlia hasn’t seen her in years. She’s fucking pissed I haven’t let her go to Minnesota on her own.”

“Sounds like a you problem.”

“Yeah, well, I wouldn’t have this problem if you had gotten off your ass and taken care of shit.”

When Tahlia was in trouble and we went on the run with Johnny, watching his ass and keeping his woman safe, Leah was nothing more than a complication. That’s what I kept telling myself. Then I made the mistake of allowing her to walk into my room. The moment she pulled her shirt over her head, every single thought in my head disappeared. I knew I was fucked, but I resisted her to the point of pain.

But I couldn’t fool Jack and Johnny. They knew I held a torch for her. They saw the way I treated women, how they were nothing more than a distraction from the one woman I really wanted. Thankfully, they didn’t say jack shit about it.

“Just get your ass back here as fast as possible. If I have to hear one more fucking time about how long it took you to get her, I’ll fucking kill you.”

“You could just tell her to mind her own business,” I argued.

“Yeah, tell me how that works with Leah.”

I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
