Summary

Matthew Wilson is an anxious, introverted librarian with an amazing fiancé Hugh, or at least he thinks so. But his world unravels when he's kidnapped by Chanse Collins, who claims to be a detective and tells Matthew that Hugh is plotting to kill him.
Matthew is forced to abandon his carefully planned life, including caring for his comatose mother and preparing for his wedding. Instead, he finds himself on the run with a stranger he isn't sure he can trust.
As the two cross the country in search of safety, Matthew begins to question everything he thought he knew -- about Hugh, about Chanse, even about himself. Torn between love, fear, and survival, he must uncover the truth before it's too late. Is Chanse his savior? Or will he end up becoming Hugh's victim after all?

    Two single dads. One huge grudge. And one tiny tent. 
    It’s hard enough balancing two jobs with raising my son solo. Forget dating. I barely have time for laundry. 
    But when my son’s scouting troop The Falcons needed a co-scout leader, I couldn’t say no. There’s just one ginormous problem: the other scout leader Russ. 
    To all other parents, he’s #DadGoals, Mr. Sexy Widower who lords over the drop off line. 
    To me? He’s the bane of my picket-fenced existence - stuck up, anal (not in the fun way), and definitely the person who got me booted from the Parent Teacher Association. I can’t let him wrest control of The Falcons and have history repeat itself - no matter how hot he looks in his khaki uniform. 
    Thing is, the more we work together, the more I glimpse the caring man lurking under the cold exterior. Maybe he isn’t the completely wretched human being I thought. 
    We’d both sworn off romance to focus on fatherhood, and nothing’s going to change that, not even sharing a too-small tent in the wilderness. 
    Right? 
    The Falcon and the Foe is an MM enemies-to-lovers romance containing hot single dads, sizzling snarky banter, pitched tent puns, skinny dipping, and an HEA. It's the first in the Single Dads Club series, but can be read as a standalone.

    A recent graduate of the NYPD's cadet academy, Jimmy McSwain dreams of anything except being a cop. He has a complicated history with the police, and it isn't from a rap sheet. Years ago, his police officer father was gunned down during an off-duty incident, leaving Jimmy bitter that his killer was never found.
    
    
    Now, trained in the art of law, Jimmy decides to embark on a new career: that of private detective. But he just can't get his own license; he needs experience. What happens will lead Jimmy into a part of New York he doesn't know, realizing he's the stranger in a neighborhood that lives by its own rules.
    
    
    His mother, Maggie McSwain, is skeptical about his job but there's nothing she can do to stop her headstrong son from entering this shadowy new world. As a warm spring settles over the city, a twist of fate has Jimmy taking on his first case, one that is a time bomb ready to explode.
    
    
    What he can't leave behind is the memory of his father, and the silver shield which he earned only out of respect. Can he live with his decision?

    Leoni is a professional at taking on roles, and her latest gig is simple: play the perfect butch girlfriend for a socialite's family getaway. She's there for the paycheck, not the drama. Until she meets the client's sister. 
     
    Aspen Hartwell thrives on control and family expectations, but Leo is a wildcard she never saw coming. She shouldn't be attracted to her sister's partner, yet the magnetic pull is impossible to ignore. As the fake relationship blurs into real desire, both women must choose: play it safe in their carefully constructed worlds or risk a scandal for a love that's anything but an act.
