Scouting the Single Dad

By Sara Ney

Layla Monroe can wrangle youth soccer drama and runaway ferrets with ease. But Fall Fest with zero ticket sales? Crisis Enter her Hail Mary: Hayes Fielder, a grumpy NFL linebacker who owes her friend a favor.

The good news? Hayes shows up.

The bad news? He brings his nine-year-old daughter, who has a to-do list: hike, swim, and find Dad a girlfriend. Layla's somehow top of the audition list.

Hayes came to Star Lake for pumpkins, not feelings. But Layla's smile could crack his defensive line, and his daughter's already calling dibs. When a festival weekend turns into a week in Arizona--complete with pool kisses, kitchen disasters, and a kid who won't stop scheming--Hayes realizes he's in deep.

Was this just a favor between friends? Or the start of something worth scouting out for keeps?
