Falling for the Single Dad by Whitley Cox
Series: The Single Dad of Seattle #10
Publication date: June 13th, 2020
Synopsis (according to Goodreads):
When a blast from the past could blow up the future.
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 Liam's story...
Single Dad of Seattle, Liam Dixon has a kick-ass life. He's a successful divorce attorney with a great kid, and an ongoing Wednesday night no-strings booty call. But seeing his fellow single dads fall in love and happier than ever, he begins to question his own life. He wants more with Richelle. A future. Finally ready to sweep Richelle off her feet, a woman who broke his heart over twenty years ago unexpectedly knocks on his door desperate for his help.
Single mom, Richelle LaRue might not be five-feet-tall, but her personality and strength are that of an Amazon. She takes no prisoners and gives zero fucks. A damn good divorce attorney, she won't let any man push her around, including Liam and his ridiculous idea of a "relationship." If it's not broke, don't fix it. With her past behind her, life is finally good and she's determined to give her daughter a bright and shiny future.
But when Liam's ex shows up, her story rocks Richelle to her core, and she and Liam take the woman's case. When should be a simple divorce suddenly turns dangerous. Richelle finds herself--and those she loves--caught in the crossfire while Liam is torn between the past and the present, with their future dangling precariously in the balance.
Can Richelle let down her walls and trust when everything she holds dear is threatened, or will finally falling for the single dad be more than her heart can bear?
**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 cliffhangers or cheating. If you like single dads who take charge, this book is for you.

Praise for Falling for the Single Dad
"I went through every single emotion while reading this final installment of the single dad's of Seattle epic story. The story will have you laugh out loud and tearing up as the emotions it will bring are deep and so well written that you can't help yourself but feel them as intensely as the characters. You've outdone yourself, Whitley and your talent has no bounds the way you bring a story to life!" -- Jo-Ann Forest, Goodreads Review

"Highly emotional and wonderfully entertaining, this book was fabulous. Once I started it I could not put it down, and the twists that Whitley Cox pulls into the story I never saw coming. The perfect ending to a series I have enjoyed from Day 1." -- Nicki ~ The Overflowing Bookcase, Amazon Review
Excerpt
"Have you seen my underwear?" she asked, her hawklike amber eyes scanning the bedroom floor. "Hot pink G-string." Her lips spread, revealing perfect teeth and a salacious feline smile.
"One of your faves, I believe."
"You mean these?" he asked, his teeth now clenched around one of the strings.
She glanced up at him, her socks and shirt in her hand. "Those would be them, yes."
He plucked the G-string from his teeth and held them on one finger. "Come get them."
His eyebrows bobbed in a way that easily conveyed the payment required for retrieving her underwear.
That month he knew like the back of his own hand continued to smile. "No time, stud. I have a deposition at nine this morning. Can't be late if I intend to kill it. Then I'm off to Mallory's school for career day." She grumbled, "How fun is that going to be? Going to a school and telling five-hundred-plus kids how rewarding it is being a divorce attorney..."
She wandered around to the side of the bed and bent down, giving him the ultimate view of her cleavage. He slipped his free hand into one of her cups until he found a nipple and tugged. The moan that rumbled in her chest told him she might not have the time, but she'd certainly make it.
Her lips hovered above his. "I can't."
"Can't? Or won't?" He lunged forward and took her bottom lip between his teeth.
She groaned, and her eyes squeezed shut. He could see her resistance crumbling. Feel the heat of her body and the way it radiated off her in a new way, a way he'd come to recognize and respond to primitively. The woman was a sexually charged animal. She also took control in the bedroom most of the time--which Liam had no qualms with--and by the time they parted ways Thursday morning, he was exhausted, achy, drained and happy as fuck.
But he also knew how to make his lioness purr. He knew how to make her roll over to her back, show her belly and become a playful kitten.
To look at her, you'd never expect the four-foot-eleven woman with short blonde hair, hawklike eyes, and the arms of a professional MMA fighter to be as fierce as she was. She reminded him of Tinker Bell--with an ax to grind. Hence, the nickname Tink or Tinker Bell that he'd given her ages ago. He'd even gone so far as to buy her a Tinker Bell costume one time (a sexy one, of course), and he wore a generic pirate's costume for a little bit of role-playing.
