Where We Stay

This title was previously published as "Heart Strings & Hotlines" as part of the Single Dad Hotline series in May 2025. Same story, just a different title and cover.

I built something from nothing in the security of a small town with no boundaries. The Single Dads program is my life's work-my strategy, my obsession, my proof that I'm stronger on my own.

Which is exactly why I can't afford a threat like Thane Wilder.

He's a billionaire who's never met a rule he didn't question, and now he's questioning every single one of mine. He's trying to win over his rebellious teenage sister and just dragged me into the battle by buying the house next door. Neither of us has time for a relationship, so I'll be the logical one and deny the chemistry that swirls around us whenever we share air.

I'm fighting to protect everything I've built from the people who want to take it. He claims he only wants me. But I've learned the hard way that everyone in my orbit keeps secrets, and those secrets have a way of destroying the things you love most.

I should be smarter than this. I am smarter than this.

But it's hard to stay logical when love moves in next door.
