Ollie Davis just got dumped… What’s worse than finding out my flight back to New York is delayed, getting ditched at the airport by my not-boyfriend, and then having a total meltdown at the thought of trying to figure out how to get all the way home, all by myself? It’s all of that happening in front of Mr. Toussaint… who I may or may not have been crushing on ever since the first time he came in to get a coffee from me back at my job in the city, and who definitely just caught me fondling a stuffed dinosaur and trying not to cry. I have no idea what he’s doing down here in Orlando or what all that French stuff he calls me means, but I do know that having everything go wrong might just turn out to be the best thing to ever happen to me. Because by the time we make it back to New York, he’s not Mr. Toussaint anymore. He’s my Daddy. THE DADDY UPGRADE is a 20,000-word gay romance featuring a sweet boy who just wants someone to please, a Daddy who’d given up on ever finding his perfect little, a new plushie (and Daddy’s permission to play dirty with it), but no on-page age play. Read it if you like helpless boys in need of saving, Daddies who like it that way, and a swoony heureux pour toujours (which Ollie definitely can’t pronounce, but which Daddy would tell you is French for “happily ever after.”) Pass if that's not your jam or you're looking for something deep, dark, or angsty. Publishing History: This novella was first published in the 2022 Dirty Daddies Pride anthology. No substantial changes have been made to the story in this edition.
