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

I understood that we would be friends for a very long time, no matter what man just happened to be attached to her by marriage, boyfriendhood, or whatnot.


Clay Johnsen. He had mysteriously entered my head for a moment or two while I walked away from Faye and Jason. Where was he in the world? And, who exactly was he sleeping with? Since our last encounter in my bed, we hadn’t spoken to each other. Not that I had wanted to. A division had been created between us, and I had every intention of keeping it. Clay and I needed to stay as far apart as possible since we were attracted to each other and always would be. No matter what conditions occurred in our updated lives, we would be friends, just as I had promised to be to him, and vice versa, I was sure. Now. Tomorrow. Always. I understood the new rules to our game, and he did, too.
