Single Dads of Gaynor Beach series
Hugh
Having spent more than twenty years as an
emergency medicine physician in war zones around the world, I barely have a
home to speak of. A daughter I didn’t know about has died and left a child
behind, so I must get to Gaynor Beach, California to claim my granddaughter.
Her temporary guardian is the first man to spark my interest in a very long
time, but it would be inappropriate for me to have a relationship with this
much-younger man.
Oscar
Gutted by my best friend’s death, I take solace
in the daughter she left in my guardianship. I’ll protect this precious baby
with all I have, and no one is going to take her away from me—least of all the
man who turns up on our doorstep claiming to be her grandfather. Despite the
resemblance, I plan to keep him at arm’s length. I’m going to show him how
capable I am. But I might also lose my heart in the process.
This is an 85k word, hurt/comfort, interracial, age-gap, MM romance
novel with a moderate amount of angst.
Exclusive Excerpt
I was
having one of those days.
Marilee had
been up most of the night running a fever.
Corey at
daycare said in no universe was I allowed to bring a sick child in.
Jermaine,
the pharmacist, had helpfully suggested something to bring down her fever.
If that
hadn’t worked, I considered either calling her pediatrician or taking her to
the hospital. Both of those options, however, meant running the risk they’d
call Anthony, and in no way was I going to deal with that son of a bitch. If
Marilee was in true danger? Of course. A fever of a hundred and one? Nope.
Having
helped raise five kids came in handy sometimes. Sometimes I resented being the
oldest and the most responsible, but other times I was grateful my mother
forced me to learn. I planned on being the best parent to Marilee. I had a
great example.
Too bad Mom
lived in Los Angeles. Right now, as Marilee screamed her lungs out, I’d do
anything for a helping hand.
The sound
of car doors slamming penetrated above the baby’s wails.
I strode to
the window and peeked through the gap in the drapes. Holding myself as still as
possible, I groaned out loud.
