Publisher Description
If you loved Problematic Summer Romance and Wild Card, you’ll LOVE Daddy Issues – this sweet and spicy age-gap single dad romance is bound to be your next obsession!
Sam doesn’t take much interest in Nick, a surprisingly cute single dad, when he first moves in next door. After all, she’s 26, working a dead-end waitressing job, navigating a situationship that’s both toxic and intoxicating, and living in her mom’s condo. She's too preoccupied with figuring out her life to seriously commit to anyone, let alone an ultra-dependable guy pushing forty.
With just one thin wall separating their bedrooms, Sam finds that she can't stay away from Nick. Maybe it's how endearingly nerdy he is, his love of Star Trek the perfect complement to Sam's comic book obsession. Or maybe it's how practical he is, fixing shelves and leaking faucets with those distractingly large hands…
But as Sam starts falling for Nick, she can't ignore how different their lives are. His world is stable, settled, and his daughter is right at the centre of it, while Sam still feels like everything is up in the air.
She’s so busy dealing with her quarter-life crisis – is she really ready to throw daddy issues into the mix, too?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Goldbeck (You, Again) takes an empathetic look at the struggles of adulting in this lively contemporary. Twenty-six-year old Sam Pulaski is drowning in student loan debt and living with her mother after Covid decimated her plans to pursue a PhD in art history. She often fantasizes about an alternate timeline where the pandemic never happened, in which "Sam Pulaski 1.0" is doing research in Europe and dating men named Luca. Instead, for five years, Sam's been bartending at a kitschy bar in Columbus, Ohio, and struggling to figure out what to do next. Enter divorced dad Nick Martino and his precocious nine-year-old daughter, Kira, who move into the condo next door. Sam quickly falls for both of them. It turns out that Nick, pushing 40 and the general manager of a local Chili's, is extremely good in bed and endearingly devoted to his daughter—but is Sam ready to settle down permanently in a life she never planned? The choice becomes even more high stakes when Sam's mother and her nonbinary partner Perry get married and announce their plans to become digital nomads—which leaves Sam needing to figure out her life immediately. Through passionate prose, Goldbeck convincingly portrays the turbulence of the world after Covid and the paralyzing perils of indecision. Her lead characters feel raw and real, and their romance sparkles. This fires on all cylinders.
