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

She hissed, “It’s all about trust, Paul. I don’t want anyone to know about my personal life.”


“Well, I can’t keep doing your errands. It’s ruining our relationship.”


She snubbed me, looked away, and spun back around. “What if I paid you to run my errands for me?”


“I make plenty at Castling College.”


“You do not. Castling pays their professors minimally. They have a reputation like that.”


“No matter what I make from teaching, I won’t work for you. I’d rather be one of your best friends than an employee.”


“You’re being selfish, Paul. In all our years together, I would have never guessed you could behave this way.”


“It’s not like that at all. I’m not your assistant, Faye. I’m your friend.”


She huffed, stood, and spat, “You should try to be a better friend.”
