Will a Christmas love built on lies melt away just as surely as the snow? Welcome to Seattle, the Emerald City and home to The Single Dads of Seattle. Ten sexy single fathers who play poker every Saturday night, have each other's backs, love their children without quarter, and hope to one day find love again. This is Zak's story... Single Dad of Seattle, Zak Eastwood plans to spend Christmas with fellow lonely hearts. His kids are supposed to be at an amusement park with their mom. However, fate has other plans. When a woman from his club finds herself stranded in the snow, he takes her to safety. Drowning in student loan debt and her father's medical bills, first-year law associate Aurora Stratford allows herself but one splurge--a pricey membership to Club Z Fitness to watch the gorgeous Zak flex his muscles. Though out of her league, fantasizing about his blue eyes and tattoos is the only thing that keeps her sane these days, especially since her Christmas will be spent alone with her dead cactus and money woes. When the snowstorm of the century moves in and the hero of her dreams offers her a ride and a place to stay, Aurora's Christmas begins to look up. However, Aurora is ashamed of her current financial state--she's nobody's charity chase--and her lies of self-preservation begin to take on a life of their own. Can Aurora spend Christmas with the single dad and win over everyone? Or will her deceit get in the way of not only their happy holiday but her happily ever after? **Note: This book can be read as a standalone. It includes lots of steamy scenes, cursing, and of course as with all my books, this has an HEA and no cliffhanger or cheating. If you like single dads who take charge, this book is for you. keywords: tattooed hero, redheaded hero, gym-owning hero, buff hero, hero wears a kilt, single dad, single father, snowed in romance, instalove, heroine pines from afar, forced proximity
