He’s a single dad. She his best friend’s younger sister and suffers from foot-in-mouth disease. Can they manage their attraction and a precocious six-year-old who wants to play cupid? Lilly: I can't believe I asked him if he was the DILF!?!?! Anyone who knows me knows I suffer from foot-in-mouth disease, but this gaffe is next level. He's shocked, I'm embarrassed, my sister's mortified, and my brother-in-law is rolling around on the ground laughing his butt off. But the more I get to know Robert—now that I know what a DILF is—I’m thinking my first impression was correct, and he's definitely a dad I'd like to, well, you know. Robert: I can't get involved with a woman when I have an impressionable little girl at home who is my everything. But Lilly isn't only my best friend's sister, she's the first woman I can't seem to resist. Can I risk my heart to her and protect my little girl at the same time? Girl Dads are a special breed…

Lilian Ten years ago, my best friend confessed he was in love with me. I thought he was joking. He wasn’t. He didn’t take the rejection well. He disappeared. A decade later, he shows up unannounced at my family’s ranch with a daughter. He thinks we’re just going to be friends again. Well, he’s wrong. Except I’m having a helluva time resisting him. He’s not some lanky, nerdy boy any more. He’s all sexy muscle and melt-your-panties hot. I’m in big trouble. I know I should keep my distance, but the harder I fight it, the more I want him. Josh After years of living the city life in the fast lane, I decide to move my daughter back to my hometown. I give up the corporate life for the ranch life. That I’m working—and living—on Lily’s dad’s ranch isn’t a coincidence. I selfishly want to see how my former best friend’s life has turned out. Though I decided at six years old that she was the most beautiful woman there ever was, I’m not prepared for the curvaceous beauty she’s become. The attraction between us burns hotter than the scorching sun. It’s not just my daughter who’s falling in love with her. I am too. This time, I’m not running away. I’m going to do whatever it takes to prove that the fire blazing between us is the forever kind.

A personal story of learning to trust our heavenly Father when you feel your earthly father has let you down. Blair Linne’s personal story of growing up without a father at home reflects the experiences of millions. She weaves her personal story with thoughtful theological reflection, inviting readers to learn from God what "father" really means and to trust him, even if they feel their earthly father has let them down. This book will help readers to shift their eyes from what they do not have in their earthly fathers (who, whether present or absent, loving or the opposite, can never be perfect) to what they do have in their eternal Father, who will never disappoint, reject or abandon them. Readers will see that the gospel promises not just forgiveness but also a place in God's family, experienced in a local church, where they can enjoy the fullness of his fatherly joy, care, wisdom, provision, protection and security. Also includes a chapter by Blair’s husband, the Christian hip-hop artist Shai, on his own story of fatherlessness and faith.
