Synopsis: It’s time.
Time to get a life.
Time to start over.
Time to move beyond the past.
The guys in the Single Dads Club would tell you it was time years ago, but until recently, the risk of hurting my little girl outweighed the benefit of getting a piece of ass.
Now that I have a tween daughter on my hands? It’s becoming more apparent with every poster hung on the wall, every fight over wearing make-up and every uncomfortable conversation about puberty, that at least one of us needs a female touch in our lives.
Jesus. I can’t even think the words ‘female touch’ without thinking of her.
Charlotte Rose. Charlie.
She’s everything I shouldn’t want, but someone needs to tell that to my damn libido because every time she’s around I have a constant case of blue balls.
There’s a list of reasons why I shouldn’t give into what I feel—she’s my best friend’s little sister, she’s seen me at my most vulnerable, and the biggest one—she’s the first person in twelve years who has the potential to break me.
Snap a picture and caption it ‘Teenage boy in front of his first Playboy’ because that’s exactly how I feel right now and I’d bet that’s how I look.
Charlie stands in the doorway wearing a white bikini, her nipples hard and erect, begging to be touched. The first thing I notice is the way she doesn't cover up, but opens the door wider, ushering me in with her free hand.
“I expected the pool guy.” Her voice changes pitch and I gather she's as affected by this situation as I am. The only difference is, my arousal can't be hidden.
“He's out of town, so you got me.”
“And you can fix it?”
I stop and tilt my head her way. “Is that even a question?”
“Well,” she walks faster to catch up to me as I use a key to open up the one door that's locked from guests. “Oh, I always wonder what's behind these doors when I rent other people's vacation homes.” She peeks her head over my shoulder and the scent of her perfume makes a beeline for my dick, making it twitch.
As he's begging for an introduction, I squat to get away, but she doesn't relent. Her tits are practically resting on my shoulder.
“Ever heard of personal space?” I remark, grabbing my tool set.
“This isn't half as exciting as I thought it would be.” She finally moves back and I stand with the toolbox in my hands.
“Did you think there would be a dead body?”
She shrugs. “Porn maybe?”
“Why would there be porn?”
She purses her lips and looks up at the ceiling. It's innocent and cute and I'm not sure I ever remember seeing her doing it before. “You know, the owner can't keep it in their own house because they have a preteen daughter, so they keep their stash in the closet and watch it when there are no guests here.”
“Let me guess? I'm the guy with the preteen daughter.”
“You're so smart. I see where Sydney gets it from.” She smiles, a mouthful of straight white teeth.
I nod and walk away. She follows.
“Do you need help?”
“Since I really have no idea what I'm fixing, I don't know yet.” I open the screen door to the hot tub.
“It wouldn't turn on.”
“That's not a good sign.”
I open up the back and start working on it. The little I know about hot tubs might not be enough.
Charlie sits on the edge of the hot tub and puts her feet in, her purple polished toenails dipping in and out of the water.
“I think I deserve a discount if I can't use the hot tub.”
I look up at her and she's smirking.
“Funny.”
She’s quiet for a few minutes while I fiddle around trying to figure out the source of the problem.
“I'm curious, Garrett…” she pauses and I glance up at her. “How do my tits look in this bikini?”

What readers are saying:
“Garrett is the perfect man - hard and virile on the outside and soft and squishy on the inside.” – Heather from White Hot Reads
“I am absolutely and positively in love with our bearded sexy beast, Garrett!” – Kristy France, Goodreads Reviewer
Piper Rayne, or Piper and Rayne, whichever you prefer because we’re not one author, we’re two. Yep, you get two USA Today bestselling authors for the price of one. You might be wondering if you know us? Maybe you’ll read our books and figure it out. Maybe you won’t. Does it really matter?
We aren’t trying to stamp ourselves with a top-secret label. We wanted to write without apology. We wanted to not be pigeon holed into a specific outline. We wanted to give readers a story without them assuming how the story will flow. Everyone has their favorite authors, right? And when you pick up their books, you expect something from them. Whether it’s an alpha male, heavy angst, a happily ever after, there’s something you are absolutely certain the book will contain. Heck, we’re readers, too, we get it.
What can we tell you about ourselves? We both have kindle’s full of one-clickable books. We're both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We're both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes and quirky heroines that make us laugh, and we hope you do, too.

The grumpy bear learns to smile again...
Charlie is finally tired of standing on the sidelines and admiring Garrett from afar. She's always been there, behind the scenes, while watching the man of her dreams pretend to ignore her. And even though she knows he has had a good reason for doing so, she thinks now might finally be the time for him to start living again.
Garrett doesn't want another relationship. After the sudden death of his first wife, he's determined to never open himself up to that kind of heartache for the rest of his life. And he knows that nothing will ever be simple if he allows himself to care for Charlie. She's a forever kind of girl and he can't give her that.
But when the pair find themselves alone and running out of willpower to deny each other, sparks fly and so does their clothing. Yet, even the promise of restricting this to a one-time thing isn't enough to prevent their feelings from getting involved. Garrett can't ignore how easily Charlie fits into his and his daughter Sydney's lives. She's the missing piece and he has to overcome his fears if they stand a chance at becoming a family.
We've reached the end, folks. The third and final single dad has found his match. I have to say that I think Garrett's story just might be my favorite of the three. And Charlie was definitely the heroine I enjoyed reading about the most. Her brand of humor was just my type. She made me laugh so many times that I lost count.
Garrett was surprisingly charming, too, once you get past the brooding personality. I could see that he was struggling in his relationship with his daughter, but his love for Sydney was evident. And I could understand his hesitance toward dating again. I teared up during the flashback of his wife. It was heartbreaking.
The romance this time around was also my favorite of the series. Like the first two couples, this pair was somewhere in the middle of we-should-not-do-this and oh-to-hell-with-it. They had reasons for not wanting to jump in the sack but were unable to deny their attraction to each other any longer. I can dig that. All that yummy sexual tension.
The only thing that irked me a little was the slightly immature scenes between Garrett/Dane and Charlie/Ava. I thought the possessiveness was understandable but the way they handled it was more like teenagers than grown-ups. I think I could see Garrett getting irritated by Charlie and Dane's friendship but Ava's scene sort of surprised me. She was rude and it seemed out of character.

In closing...
We meet Vance in this story and the end of the book solidifies his story will be next! I'm super excited to see why the powerful city player needed a break from his life. For this story, five bearded suns!
