Reckless Love is LIVE!!! ❤️ ❤️
Reckless Love is LIVE! I'm so excited for Rhodes and Elle's story to finally be here… it was SO MUCH FUN to write this friends to lovers romance—the tension that accumulated over the years of their friendship was so . Throw in some fun banter, the friendships, the kids, and I hope you will enjoy them as much as I loved writing them!
XO,
Willow
A sexy small town, single dad, friends to lovers romance by USA Today bestselling author, Willow Aster.
I fell in love with Rhodes Archer the night we met thirteen years ago.
We made a pact that night to never cross the just-friends zone.
However, Rhodes crossed that line by kissing me recently, and I can't get over it.
I've loved him, ached for him, craved him for years, but I've never wanted to ruin what we have.
And now, when I'm a cheerleader for the Colorado Mustangs and he's their superstar tight end, we're not even supposed to be in the same room, let alone be together.
But, he is everything to me.
And that includes my godson, Rhodes' adorable three-year-old son, Levi, who I love as my own.
It's impossible to stay away from each other. And I don't want to when I can still feel his lips on mine and the lingering touches between us.
The lines have blurred, and rules are being broken…
I just hope we aren't being too reckless and break each other's hearts in the process.
Reckless Love is book three in the Single Dad Playbook series. Each book can be read as a standalone.

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.
About Summertime:
Summertime, where the living’s easy…
At least that’s what I’d hoped for when I decided to visit Hollywood’s most sought-after director, AKA my usually absentee father, for the summer. But my vision of an idyllic break before starting grownup life after college comes to a halt when my dad puts me to work on his set.
As an aspiring screenwriter, I’m eager for any experience, but my time is spent as the errand girl, fulfilling every whim of Hollywood’s IT actor, the flirtatious, too-sexy-for-his-own-good Liam Taylor. As the shiny new girl, Liam thinks he has to have me, but his bad-boy persona turns me off, and I don’t want to be another notch on his bedpost.
Then there’s Hudson Callihan, the hot up-and-coming director working with my dad. He’s everything I think I want in a guy. What starts out as a friendship becomes a secret relationship, and I fall hard.
Things become complicated with Hudson when I’m thrown into a fake relationship with Liam to soften his scandalous reputation. And living on set with both guys and the crew is becoming more and more difficult.
I came to LA expecting to have a good time, but what I didn’t expect was to be faced with making the biggest decision of my life.
About Autumn Nights:
He's a hot football star and a sexy-as-sin single dad. Zac Ledger is everything I never knew I wanted.
A prince on a white horse swooping in to save the day...
Isn't that every girl's dream? Maybe for some, but I've never expected to find my own happily ever after.
I've made one bad dating choice after another, and it doesn't help that my only example of marriage is my dad leaving my mother before I was even born.
I'll never be a believer in fairy tales.
So, imagine my surprise when I meet Zac Ledger at my sister's wedding.
He is the total opposite of my usual type: gorgeous, confident, and genuine.
He's also athletic, and I am so not.
They call him the GOAT in the NFL...and I didn't even know what either acronym meant until my sister told me.
But there's something about him.
One drink.
One dance.
And I'm ready to believe that there are actually good guys out there.
That is, until I overhear him on the phone and I realize he's just like every other jerk I've dated.
When he hires me as his interior designer to come work on his new house, I resist, but he's persistent.
My goal is to finish the job and keep him at a distance.
But I'm not prepared for the real Zac Ledger or the way he dotes on his adorable little girl.
And when the renovation dust begins to settle, I realize there is more to Zac than his NFL accolades, and maybe, just maybe, he will prove to be the one man in my life that chooses to stick around.

Reckless Love Excerpt
“Yes?” she calls.
“Can I come in?”
There’s only the briefest pause before she says, “Come in.”
I open the door and chuckle when I find her room dark. “You didn’t waste any time getting into bed.”
“I didn’t know how long it would take Levi to settle down…”
“Mm-hmm.” I walk toward her bed so I can see her a little better. “Once I told him you’d be here tomorrow too, he took Pretzel and laid right down.”
“That teddy bear is the best investment I ever made.” I hear the smile in her voice and it warms me from the inside out.
“I wanted to make sure you’re okay after…earlier,” I say.
She looks up at me, her hair splayed out on the pillow, the moonlight and nightlight shining from the open door of her bathroom casting an ethereal glow over her. “I’m okay…besides the lingering embarrassment that I’m a complete hussy.”
I choke back a laugh. “Tell me how you can possibly define yourself as a complete hussy.”
“You saw the way I—”
She waves her hand toward my body, and I lift the covers, motioning for her to scoot over. “What are you doing?”
“I’m not letting you get out of talking about this, my filthy hussy.” She snorts.
“I can call myself that, but you’re not allowed...and I never said filthy…”
I laugh and turn to face her, tugging on her to face me too. We stare at each other for a few moments, and I’m nervous, but this also feels more right than anything ever has.

Secret Love is LIVE!
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.
Secret Love is book two in the Single Dad Playbook series. Each book can be read as a standalone.
