The sexy, single dad of the MTF finally gets his turn.... Mason “Menace” Harrison: "Single and ready to mingle...." Those are the words above every picture of almost every female that strikes my interest on this dating app my son talked me into getting. After being a single dad for 17 years, I’m ready to spread my wings, just not with most of the co-eds who keep hitting on me and calling me daddy. Now that Caleb’s in his senior year of high school, I feel like I can let go of the iron-clad control I’ve had on myself without his mom in our lives. I’ve enjoyed raising him, love the relationship we have, and while he went off the rails for a bit last year, we’re closer than we’ve ever been. He’s got a full ride to the University of Alabama, and I’ve settled into my spot with the Moonshine Task Force. But my son doesn’t warm my bed, he isn’t someone I can share my dreams with, and he’s not the person I want to grow old with by my side. I’m not sure who that is yet, but the smokin’ hot lady going by the name BeachBum83 definitely has every single bit of my interest. Karina Holland: “Looking for a good time, maybe more...." Those were the lamest words I ever typed in my life, but it was the best I had for the dating app my friend, Violet talked me into joining. I didn’t have any high hopes for myself. As a high school English teacher, I’m sick of pervy dads hitting on me when they come in to discuss their child’s lack of motivation to read the classics and apply themselves. Until the day Mason Harrison walks into my classroom. I had no idea Caleb’s dad was the man I met off that dating app who showed me how flexible I really am in the back of his Jeep. Within minutes of the parent/teacher conference he proved the sparks weren’t one-time only when we christened my desk. Mason and Caleb? They touch a part of my heart that no one’s ever touched before, and when a threat from the past shows up, I prove just how tough I really am.

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Laramie Briscoe comes the next book in the Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team series. "Trust Laramie Briscoe to provide engaging characters in a well-built world I want to revisit again and again." (Carly Phillips, New York Times best-selling author) Sometimes, home finds us when we aren’t looking. Devante Soles: Laurel Springs was nothing more than a dot on the map when I decided I needed a change from the fast pace of Atlanta. I’m more surprised than anyone else when I look around one day and realize I have friends who have become family, a city that’s become a home, and a girl who decided to make me believe in love. Unlike me, her past follows her here. A community that I once never thought I’d have comes together with me to save her. Eden McKinney: Chicago wasn’t for me. The bright lights, the drug dealers, the gun shots. I never felt safe there. Little Laurel Springs though? It’s everything I hoped it would be and more. My coffee shop, A Whole Latte Love, isn’t doing well, but I’m close to turning a profit. And Devante? Well, he’s more than I ever could have asked for. But Marcus? He’s the one I didn’t count on coming back and demanding what I stole.
