After one too many terrible dates (and a foursome mishap that shall never be mentioned again), my therapist handed me a three-month dating ban. Apparently, I’m supposed to “focus on myself,” which so far includes yoga I’m terrible at, clay work that looks like it was done by a four-year-old, and a baking attempt that produced something akin to cat vomit. But I’m determined to stick to the plan and so the last thing I need is the nosy café owner with the cheeky smile setting up camp in my dreams. Theo Life as a single dad means keeping up with Lucy, my 5-year-old tornado who can charm free biscuits out of strangers faster than I can make a flat white.

Book Review: Pine for Me

Patton Pierce has a knack for showing up when I least expect him—my street, my salon, my martial arts studio. Even my dreams. Sure, I’ve pined for him over the past seven years, but if he thinks his low-slung gray sweatpants, backward cap, and infuriating grin will make me forget our past, then he’s in for a rude awakening. But then my sister’s bachelorette party happens, and I have one too many drinks. One ridiculous dare later, and I find myself “kissing the boy I used to love”. One kiss leads to one incredible night. And one night leads to  two very pink lines. Patton says he wants me back, that nothing would make him happier than to have this baby with me. But I’ve heard those words before. He chose Hollywood over me before, and he’ll choose it over me again. Still, with him taking care of my every craving—both in and out of the bedroom—it’s getting ...
