As the boss, I should have known better than to indulge in a one-night stand with an employee. When two pink lines appeared, I took responsibility. Although I can’t say I was sorry when the pregnancy ended in an emergency room visit. What do I regret? Missing out on the way my relationship with the single mom was changing.
So, when she and her two boys need a temporary place to stay, I offer to put them up at my house. It doesn’t take long for things to steam up between me and Maddie again. But having never wanted kids, do I have what it takes to help her create a stable home and be the man they need?
Before becoming an international bestselling author, Jody Kaye used to cook dinner for her family …Or so her three sons say, since she still maintains they began eating the meal ingredients for snacks around the same time.
It makes her wonder if the phrase “just 5 more minutes” only counted for video games and not toward penning the last paragraph of a romance novel?
A voracious reader, Jody has written over 25 small-town books, including the steamy southern Kingsbrier and angsty Shattered Hearts of Carolina series. Among her emotionally relatable cast of characters are coming of age twenty-year-olds and later-in-life single parents. She even threw in a psychic medium for a dash of suspense!
Jody currently resides in North Carolina with her husband, who continually proves an insta-love romance can last a lifetime—and who’s glad he talked her into being a writer and out of the bougie French stove she drooled over.
Her children have either moved out or are currently waiting in line for their take-out order. She’s hungry and hopes they ordered extra fries.
