She's eighteen years older than I am and my dad's high school sweetheart. That makes her forbidden. But I need her now.

My dad was young when he had me. We have a great relationship, but he advised me to live as much as I could before I had kids. I didn't listen. My daughter, Cammy, is two and the best thing that ever happened to me.

But her mom, Bridgette, not only broke my heart, she closed it. Slammed it shut, actually. Owning my own landscaping company and being a good dad is all I have room for, anyway.

Until now. After meeting my dad's ex-girlfriend, Elle Jones, I'm not the same. Her almond-shaped green eyes and pink pouty lips are irresistible. And for the first time, I feel myself opening up again.

Dad broke Elle's heart when he ended their relationship to date my mom. That's the first strike against me. The second is that I'm 22 and Elle is 40.

But I'm not concerned about that stuff at all. Or that my dad is still crazy about her. This is right. I know it.

I just need to convince Elle that our age gap, and the fact she used to be in love with my dad shouldn't matter at all. I need her now. And by the way she looks at me, she needs me just as much.

Need You Now is a spicy, single dad romance with an extra sweet HEA.
