Publisher Description
“The endearing, often erotic story of two men finding love later in life will fill readers’ hearts.” —Publishers Weekly
Two single dads meet at the office, where it’s hate at first sight in this new series from acclaimed author Jayce Ellis.
Sending his daughter off to college is the proudest day of single dad JaQuan Reynolds’s life. Everything took a back seat to raising her—including his career. He has no idea what comes next, but his newfound freedom is quickly curtailed by a crash deadline at work and the uptight, hovering presence of consultant Matthew Donaldson. He’s surly and insufferably sexy, and Jaq’s ready to check him out and write him off—right up until a work assignment forces them together.
Every day. From now until Thanksgiving.
Work and fatherhood have been Matt’s whole world for years now, ever since his marriage ended. His eldest son is getting hitched over Thanksgiving weekend, and he’s not going to let a work deadline get in the way of celebrating with his family—not this time. The hours aren’t a problem, but the executive assistant on the project might be. Jaq’s sexy voice makes Matt yearn for things he let go of a long time ago.
Lust isn’t on the schedule, and neither is longing. But as the weeks go by, Matt and Jaq are forced to reevaluate their plans…and discover that even the most tight-knit of families can make room for one more.

Customer Reviews
Knowing two good men…
I chose to buy/read this book mainly because the main characters were black. I don’t know their culture very well, and I could see these guys are middle class with complicated lives. I soon began relating to them and their issues without regard to race. As they say, we’re more alike than different. The story was interesting, and the relationship these guys developed was challenging to both. I feared a long distance relationship would be attempted, but the ending was better than I guessed, with good communication leading to a solid relationship for the two men. They will live in my memories ….
