A small-town, single dad, enemies-to-lovers standalone sports romance in the new series, The Single Dad Playbook, from USA Today Bestselling author Willow Aster
He's a quarterback, a single dad, and now he's my roommate…
For a long time now, I’ve despised Weston Shaw. He’d been someone I’d admired, taking my favorite football team, the Colorado Mustangs, to the Super Bowl.
But that all turned upside down after one night that had nothing to do with me.
We share one undeniable connection: his son, Caleb.
Unfortunately, the circumstances behind that have never been my story to tell.
But now, the truth is out, and I’m left to deal with the consequences.
I’m living under the same roof as Weston, and each day, I discover a side of him I never expected.
He’s not the selfish jock I imagined. He’s caring, thoughtful, and unexpectedly charming.
I find myself drawn to him in ways I never thought possible. It’s terrifying and exhilarating, but I can't deny it any longer…
I’m falling for the one person I shouldn’t…Weston Shaw.
Mad Love is book one in The Single Dad Playbook series. Each book can be read as a standalone.

Take This Heart is LIVE!
After an annoying, albeit sexy, encounter with Milo Lombardi, he’s the last person I want to see in Windy Harbor, Minnesota. Being in my favorite small town near Lake Superior with my family is my idea of heaven, and after clashing with Milo at an art event, and then kissing his face off right after – I’d be fine if I never saw the man again.
Even though he is sinfully gorgeous, and knows how to use those unforgettable lips.
But my dad has other ideas, and because he’s been dealt a blow that threatens to turn our family’s world upside down, I want to do what's best and keep the peace.
Which means, I’m stuck working on a project with Milo, all day, every day.
And if I thought we didn’t get along in the beginning, it’s nothing compared to dealing with him on a daily basis. He has a unique way of bringing out the worst in me, while showcasing his annoying smirk in the process.
If only I could forget how his mouth felt on mine, and the way his strong arms felt wrapped around me.

Take This Heart Excerpt
He glances at me and his eyes narrow. “Hmm. You’re right. I think...maybe because your life seems so much more interesting.”
I laugh. “Are you serious right now?”
“Yeah. I mean, there is nonstop entertainment with your family. Your brothers are hilarious. You have a dog named Kevin...” He lifts his hand like what more is there?
I smile. “I never expected the great Milo Lombardi to say something like that. Your life is so exciting. You’ve won awards, you’ve worked all over the world...you speak and people listen.”
He clears his throat. “I didn’t know how much I needed a break. I might be working in Windy Harbor, but it doesn’t feel like it. When I’m there...I feel different. Life is simpler and I like it. More than I thought I would. It’s like a different world. One I’m still taking in. I mean, Bosco could be a char- acter study all on his own, and that’s just one person.”
That cracks me up. “Who else entertains you in Windy Harbor?”
“Besides your family? Juju and Erin are high up there.” He laughs. “Miss Idella at The Rusty Trunk is also an inter- esting one. Did you know she has Earl Grey and a blueberry muffin every morning at exactly 6:10 on the dot? Fascinating.”
I snort. “You are even weirder than I thought.”
“I’m surprised you’re just now realizing that.” His eyes are still smiling when he looks over and he seems shy as he clears his throat. “I...thought maybe we could meet up with my friends Evan and Sara tomorrow. We don’t have to if
you’re anxious to get back, but they’re great and want to meet you.”
“You’ve told your friends about me?”
“Yeah?” he says it like it’s a given.
“I’d really like to meet them.”
