Tress

After losing his police officer husband in a line of duty shooting, Tress Covey-Fox fled the big city for a quieter life in the seaside community of Gaynor Beach. It's the perfect place to raise their daughter and grow his real estate business… if only a certain sexy engineer would stop showing up at his job sites. As tempting as Logan's blue eyes might be, Tress has no interest in ever risking his heart again. But when Delaney's biological mother shows up in town threatening to shatter the life he's built, Tress will do anything to keep his family together, no matter how ridiculous the idea sounds.

Civil engineer Logan Gentry always knew he wanted to settle in Gaynor Beach once he discharged from the Navy, and that was before he met the new developer in town. Although Tress insists he doesn't do relationships anymore, when his attorney suggests a two-parent household would look better to the court, Logan is more than happy to play along, because he knows the spark between them is real even if the relationship isn't.

Tress is a slow burn, fake it 'til you make it MM romance with moderate angst and is part of the Single Dads of Gaynor Beach series.
