Help Wanted

2019

"Will you start a DADcademy with me?" Eric Buchanan just wants to do right by his daughter, but when she expresses an interest in all things glamorous—something his nerdy, dad jeans wearing self knows nothing about—he's absolutely lost. The solution? Find an adorably fashionable hairdresser who can show him the ropes. Julian Rossi has spent his life helping other people become the best version of themselves, but when it comes to raising a son on his own—especially feeding that son—he's making it up as he goes along. When a big teddy bear of a man comes in looking for help, Julian can't resist. And when he learns that man also knows how to cook, he decides to strike a deal. The plan: Swap essential dad-skills to support each other, one single dad to another. But attraction grows with every lesson, and Eric and Julian soon find themselves eager for a little one-on-one teaching. When old insecurities and crazy exes threaten to ruin what they've built, they'll have to learn to truly trust one another—with their family, and their heart. The DADcademy is now in session! Follow a group of well-meaning, lovable, but ultimately clueless single dads as they band together to support one another in raising their kids and finding their Happily Ever After. Every book in The DADcademy series can be read as a standalone, but reading them in order is strongly recommended.

Hold Tight

2019

"I won't let you go without a fight." After a painful divorce, Josh Ford is left fighting for his son in a high-stakes custody battle. When he contacts the DADcademy for help, he gets much more than he bargained for in the form of his college crush, a deliciously sexy pastry chef who's always set his heart—and his body—aflame. Andy Perez is everyone's knight in shining armor. He took care of his family when they needed him most, and he's more than willing to do the same for his long-time crush, too. It's not like anything could ever happen between them. The sweet, sensitive artist was off-limits back then and he's off-limits now. After a major setback in the custody case, Andy is right there. Strong. Steady. And... kissing Josh. That one moment of vulnerability reveals a decade of suppressed longing. But when old fears threaten to tear them apart, they'll have to cast aside their doubts and find strength in each other—and the family they could build together. The DADcademy is now in session! Follow a group of well-meaning, lovable, but ultimately clueless single dads as they band together to support one another in raising their kids and finding their Happily Ever After.

Trial Run

2019

"You hurt me more than anyone ever has. But for some reason I still love you." Jeremy Hess made a promise to his sister, vowing to take care of her infant daughter if anything happened to her. When the worst comes to pass, he steps up as Cooper's godfather despite how unsure he feels as a single dad. But Jeremy isn't the only one who has claims on her, and when another family member challenges him for guardianship, he's forced to seek legal counsel from the person who hurt him most—his former best friend and the first man he ever loved. Logan Ellis has always had a plan to work his way up to partner at a prestigious law firm, then use that clout to be a legal all-star for the local LGBT community. Working a pro-bono case for his childhood friend may not be part of that plan, but he'd do anything for Jeremy. He owes him that much after ruining their friendship so many years ago. When old feelings resurface, all attempts to keep things professional between them fall by the wayside. Jeremy thought he was over the betrayal, but as he and Logan become closer than he ever dared to dream, it'll take more than an apology to rebuild the burnt bridges between them. It'll take trust, love, and forgiveness on both sides to turn this trial run into something permanent. The DADcademy is now in session! Follow a group of well-meaning, lovable, but ultimately clueless single dads as they band together to support one another in raising their kids and finding their Happily Ever After. Every book in The DADcademy series can be read as a standalone, but reading them in order is strongly recommended.
