Single Dad Dilemma: The Kings

About this book

NFL Coach Barrett King is the definition of a grumpy single dad, but when his chaotic home life demands an extra set of hands during football season, he finds himself relying on his equally prickly neighbor. For Lily, a woman who prides herself on her independence and nomadic lifestyle with her dog, Larry, the arrangement is supposed to be purely transactional. She has no interest in playing house, and she is fairly certain that Barrett’s initial glares are a sign of mutual disdain. What follows is a delightful neighbors-to-lovers slow burn defined by sharp-witted banter and undeniable tension. As Lily finds herself unexpectedly charmed by Barrett’s children and softened by the man beneath the gruff exterior, she realizes she is in over her head. The central conflict is as clear as it is daunting: Lily avoids long-term commitments at all costs, while Barrett is a man who doesn’t do "short-term." Trapped between their stubborn natures and a growing, inconvenient attraction, the two must decide if they are willing to risk their hearts. This witty, warm-hearted romance explores the beauty of second chances and proves that even the most incompatible neighbors might just be the perfect match.
