Description

He’s the uptight corporate VP cutting costs at her public sector job. She’s the sunny, small town toddler-whisperer in his crosshairs. It should be easier for them to keep their hands off each other.

The new guy in town may be a hot single dad–we’re talking total, mouthwatering eye candy here–but that isn’t stopping him from shuttering my favorite program here at Climax Parks & Rec.

Nor does it stop me from being blinded by lust and tripping over my own feet every time I see him, even though we’re completely wrong for each other. 

He’s all business; my job is to play. He’s moved upstate from Manhattan; I’ve returned to my small town roots. He’s overwhelmed by his two adorable kids; doctors told me I’ll never be a mother.

Oh, and did I mention that it’s his job to “re-org” (aka ruin) everything I love about my job?

Despite all this, he’s got me dreaming of something I told myself I’d given up on: a family of my own.

Warning! Do not read this book unless you love:

  • No-nonsense heroes who are silly with their kids
  • Sunshiny, Cinderelly heroines
  • Nosy, interfering, small-town bureaucrats
  • Possibly magical clock towers
  • Parks and Recreation and Schitt’s Creek vibes


To the reader: my romance novels are all lighthearted and humorous and the main two characters are guaranteed to find a happy ending. However, they may run into a few obstacles along the way as well as need healing from incidents in their former lives. If you’d like content guidance regarding sex/nudity, death, mental health and/or reproductive health challenges, you can find them in detail at karengrey.com/contentguidance
