”It’s my mountain, you just live on it.” Yeah, my new neighbor is a real charmer. But maybe he could at least crack a smile? Anything other than that cocky smirk. He’s sweet as can be to his daughter, but for me it’s always that cold, hard stare. Then he touches me, and those cool blue eyes burn . It's a white Christmas, but it’s about to get scorching hot on this mountain. THEO I hate surprises. The only exception is the time I found out I had a daughter. She was one year old when I first met her, and it was the happiest day of my life. I swore on that day that I’d put her first. I moved us up onto a mountain so I could raise her right, all by myself. So when the sound of a bulldozer wakes me up, and I peek over the fence to see a damn spa being built, I’m pissed. It turns out this woman, Naomi, is building a spa just a few hundred feet from my house. This is my mountain, she’s got nerve. Then I see her. She’s got full lips, wide hips, and the way she walks has my jaw dropping. I swore I’d never let a woman come between me and my daughter, but I can barely look away from Naomi. This is why I hate surprises. NAOMI Everything is going to be perfect. I finally have a plot of land to build my spa, and it’s on a beautiful and pristine mountain. Then I meet my Theo Thames. He’s the most insufferable man I’ve ever met. He can’t open his mouth without smirking or insulting me, and aside from his rugged good looks, I can’t find a single good thing about him. Then I see how he treats his daughter. As if she were a princess. He lives for that girl. So maybe there’s a warm heart beating beneath that icy shell? And maybe, just maybe I can get him to share some of that warmth with me. Surprise Single Dad is a full-length single dad Christmas romance with a happy ending, no cheating, and plenty of steam. A bonus book is included.
