ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 31, 2024

Insulting my dream woman five minutes after the hottest hookup of my life was not how I thought today was going to go.

From lovers to enemies, we find ourselves fighting more than making up. But man, when we do make up the whole house is on fire. Okay, so it’s a cottage on the lake.

In the town I grew up in.

The same town I thought I left in my rearview when I answered New York City’s siren call.

Now I’m back trying to figure out how I went from top of my game as a graphic novelist, to failing businessman.

Maybe the key to both is where I began.

Just when I started to get my feet under me, surprise! The hot hookup gave me a brand new project to explore. I just have to convince the woman of my dreams I’m not the nightmare she thinks I am.

And I have to learn how to write a happily ever after for all three of us.

Rita Savage is struggling in the wake of her writing partner’s abrupt departure and betrayal. Leaving New York for some R&R in Crescent Cove, Rita will come face to face with graphic novel writer and hometown boy Penn Masterson, the man with whom Rita will fall in love.

The world building follows Rita’s need to move forward on her own. Betrayal from her previous co-author continues to hit Rita as the weeks go buy but Independence means working alone, something with Rita is all too familiar. Penn Masterson comes from a large close knit family, and Crescent Cove is about to welcome home our hero, and the woman with whom he is falling in love.

DRIVEN DADDY is a story of heart break and betrayal, family and relationships, friendships, and love. The premise is inviting and realistic; the characters are sassy, animated and honest; the romance is edgy and tender.
