Need You Now

Single Dads of Maine, Book 2

By: Katie Bingham-Smith

Narrated by: Louise Cooksey's voice replica

She’s my dad’s high school sweetheart. And eighteen years older than me. Which makes her completely off-limits—so why does it feel like she’s mine?

I had my daughter Cammy at twenty. She’s everything to me. Her mom shattered me, and I locked my heart up after that. Between raising my little girl and running my landscaping business, love hasn’t just taken a backseat—it’s not even in the car.

Then I met Elle Jones. My dad’s ex. His first love. And the woman I can’t stop thinking about.

Elle is stunning. Sharp. With soft green eyes and a mouth that begs to be kissed. I know the rules. She’s too old for me. She’s off-limits. And yeah—my dad’s still a little hung up on her. But when I’m near her, none of that matters.

Because for the first time in years, I want more. And I think she does too.

Now I just have to convince her that what we’re feeling is real. That age doesn’t define love. And that no one, not even my dad, can tell us what our hearts already know.

A deliciously forbidden, age-gap small-town romance with heat, heart, and a single dad who knows exactly what—and who—he wants.
