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.

𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐚𝐲!!!
*Narrated by Savannah Peachwood and Sebastian York

Before I moved to the small town of Silver Hills, I would have told you no one.
But the second I meet Henley Ward, I’m swept away.
He is everything I look for in a man: tall, strong and so handsome.
Our instant attraction, spirited banter, and heated glances leave a lasting impression…
Until I see him again.
Like a raging tornado, he storms into the school ready to take on the teacher who has crushed his daughter’s spirit.
The dedication this man has to his three daughters could be the sexiest thing I have ever seen.
Before we know it, we are stealing kisses in his kitchen and secretly getting together any chance we can.
I know I should stay away from Henley so I don’t lose my job, and his focus is on raising the girls and being the best wide receiver in football, but our attraction is intense and the draw between us is too tempting to resist.
I can only hope our secret love will survive when our truth is revealed.

About the book:
A Sizzling, Enemies to Lovers, Workplace, Small-Town Romance by USA Today bestselling author Willow Aster.
Jamison Ledger.
The hottest man I’ve ever seen.
The enemy I never saw coming.
On one of the worst days of my life, the last thing I planned on was falling into bed with a guy who literally charmed the pants right off me.
Little did I know, that hot, gorgeous man would be Jamison Ledger, the man responsible for the very tears I was crying.
A thief. The very sexy thief who took everything I’ve ever wanted—my legacy, my happiness, and what I’ve worked my whole life to attain.
Now, we have to co-exist. Working together at my family’s lodge, the inheritance that should’ve gone to me, while trying to keep our hands to ourselves after our unforgettable night together.
But as I see him more and more, I have to remind myself not to fall in love with the charismatic lodge owner who has taken our small town by storm.
There’s a fine line between love and hate, and Jamison is blurring that line.
He might have given me a night I’ll never forget, but can I let him take more of my future than he already has?
Unforgettable is book one in the interconnected Landmark Mountain Series and can be read as a standalone.

From the moment nine-year-old Becca Fox and I hugged, it was like we’d known each other forever. Precocious, sweet, and kind, I just knew this little girl was exceptional. Her dad, though? Not so much.
Bowie Fox checks every box in the looks department—rugged, intense, and the kind of man who makes you forget how to breathe—but his personality? About as warm as a snowstorm.
That is, until we’re seated together at his best friend's wedding, and then…we dance.
For hours.
Beneath that gruff and hard exterior, I catch glimpses of a man who wants to let loose and enjoy life.
After the wedding, when a hotel mixup leaves me without a room and stranded in Landmark Mountain, Bowie invites me to stay in his room. In his bed.
It’s innocent at first. Until it’s not. A sizzling one-night stand for the books. Then I wake up alone and when I see him at breakfast, he is as distant as ever.
Bowie lets me know his life revolves around Becca, his teammates, and football. He makes it perfectly clear that there is no room for anyone else—especially the bubbly coach of his daughter.
As much as our paths keep crossing, I know the broody linebacker isn’t ever planning on falling for me, but when I find out I am pregnant—I wonder, Can he fall for us?

Wicked Love Excerpt
“Tonight was…” I trail off, searching for the right words. “Really nice.”
She smiles before biting down on her lower lip and nodding. “It was.”
I get out of bed reluctantly and get dressed. Poppy pulls her sweatshirt over her head and I make a face, bending down to kiss her temple. “It’s a shame to cover that body up.”
Her eyes are lit up when she looks at me, and I think that she is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. I feel like the darkest part of the night to her sun.
My thumb caresses her cheek and then I walk out of her room. She follows me to the door, her arms wrapping around herself as if bracing for the cold.
“I’ll see you soon, probably tomorrow at Briar Hill,” I say.
“Bowie,” she says suddenly.
I pause, smirking. “Yeah?”
She hesitates, taking a deep breath. “I need to tell you something.”
My heart skips a beat at the seriousness in her tone. “Okay.”
Her eyes skate over my face and she reaches up, smoothing away the furrow in my brow.
“What is it?” I ask. My phone buzzes again and I wince.
She shakes her head, smiling. “It can wait. Sleep well.”
My eyes narrow, but her smile deepens.
“Really,” she says. “I’ll see you…later.”
I give her a lingering kiss, hating to leave her.
“Later,” I say, putting my hands in my pockets and walking out. I turn and look back at her. “Night, Poppy.”
She leans against the doorway in nothing but her oversized sweatshirt and my mouth goes dry.
We smile at each other and I leave, a bit shaken up by all that just happened. And we didn’t even have any popcorn.
