At thirty-four, English professor Paul Avery cannot see himself as a father. In fact, he thinks children are little beasts. To his surprise, he meets two men with sons during the month of May and his negative view about children begins to unexpectedly change. Enter Matthew Hildebrand, one of Paul’s students at Castling College. Matthew is twenty-two and the father of Aiden, a six-year-old adorable little child. Soon Paul is befriended by the father and son team. Then Paul meets handsome and professional architect, Dugan Brae, who is thirty-five and the father of seven-year-old Colby, a gifted little boy. After much convincing, Paul agrees to go on a date with Dugan, and surprisingly, the two hit it off. Plus, Paul finds Colby irresistible, creating a fresh friendship with the child. As May turns into June, Paul is pulled in different directions by both Matthew and Dugan. And in due time, Paul must make a decision. With whom does he fall in love? Either one gains him a son, creating an instant family. Through the daily trials and tribulations of dating, babysitting, and just having a good time, will Paul find the man of his dreams and become a happy father in the process?

Daddy Business

“Her name is Georgina. She lives in Florida. I prefer the cold up here. Fall and winter are my thing.”


He knew so much about me: no siblings, my parents lived in Chicago, I drove a Quest, and my last boyfriend’s name was Clay Johnsen.


I told him, “Faye’s told you a lot about me.”


He chuckled. “I’m not stalking you. I’ve just paid attention to Faye when she talks to me.”


I laughed. “I get that. Tell me what else you know about me.”


“You can’t cook. You want to drive a Winnebago around the United States and visit every state. You spend hours reading.”


I huffed. “Jesus. You do know a lot about me. What did Faye tell you about Clay?”


Dugan knew everythingabout Clay Johnsen. He pretty much told me that Clay could have been the gem of my life had he not been a liar and constantly unfaithful.
