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.

Out with the old and in with the new.
Except none of it is real.
Or it isn’t supposed to be.
My fake boyfriend happens to be the best relationship I’ve ever had.
And don’t even get me started on his dark eyes that I swear can see straight into my soul.
The way he makes me feel … everything about Caden Taylor is unexpected.
Caden…
I steer clear of relationships.

I keep things simple, and it works for me.
Until I agree to help out Cosette Dubois by pretending to date her.
The most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
Kind and sweet and smart and talented.
Fake boyfriend … no problem.
I’m a giver that way.
Throw in a crazy ex, a Botox-injected mother who hates me, a snaggletoothed dog who can turn on a dime, and a woman I can’t stop thinking about.
Messy has never looked better.

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.

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.

I don't do feelings—especially not with an arrogant, broody Taylor brother.
But one moment of weakness on an elevator wrecks me. I curse his name. I curse said elevator.
Yet, I find myself wanting to be trapped in a small space with Spence Taylor again.
And don't even get me started on his day job. The man can do just about anything with those hands. Those big hands, and er—big feet. I digress.

Emma Kingsley is the most infuriating woman I've ever known. Stubborn, arrogant, and sexy as sin. She drives me crazy. And she's determined to hate me.
The funny thing is—I can't get enough.
But the woman has more walls up than the royal palace. Lucky for her, I make a living tearing down walls. And I just found my favorite project.
Time to renovate, Queenie.
Bestselling authors Willow Aster and Laura Pavlov return with this laugh-out-loud, enemies-to-lovers, standalone romance.

A scorching hot small town, age gap, single father/nanny romance by USA Today bestselling author Willow Aster.
When a judge falls for his younger nanny, can their love overcome the possibility of scandal?
As I drive into the picturesque small town of Landmark Mountain after the whirlwind of college, I could never have expected a simple job opportunity would lead me to the deliciously sexy Sutton Landmark. But fate, it seems, wants to send my plans sideways.
Judge Sutton Landmark, a man whose gorgeous face, charisma, and chocolate brown eyes could charm the pants off of anyone. He needs a nanny for his son, Owen, and I need a break from textbooks and exams…and some time to figure out what I really want to do with my life.
However, one heated look from Sutton, and everything inside me ignites.
As I spend time with Sutton, I find myself falling for him. There's a spark between us and a connection that simmers and dances in the air whenever we’re in the same room.
But Sutton’s prestigious position and the age gap between us casts a looming shadow over our happiness. Despite our hearts’ desires, fear and indecision hold us back from taking that leap of faith.
I want to believe that, despite the obstacles, anything is possible…
Even love against all odds.
I guess I’ll just have to jump in headfirst and stay to find out.
Stay is book five in the Landmark Mountain Series. Each book can be read as a standalone.
