These men may be built for comfort but don't be fooled - they will stop at nothing to protect the women who've claimed their hearts. This January, some of your favorite contemporary romance authors are bringing you a sexy selection of brawny, hot Dad Bods and the women who love their men with a little something extra to hold on to. I'll never find another Macy.ĭad Bods made a big impression in 2021 - and they're not going anywhere! When she shows up at my office looking for a job, looking for me, I fold like a cheap suit. She deserves to frolic with men her own age who have the time and energy to love her the way she needs to be loved.įor more than a year, I've kept her at arm's length, but with every passing day, my strength weakens, and my resolve withers. But she's out of my league and beyond my reach. I want Macy Ramos more than I want food, water, or air. You don't ogle, flirt, fantasize, and plan to pillage her luscious curves for the next forty years when her father trusts you to keep his one and only princess safe. You don't chase your best friend's daughter. And one day soon, every single inch of his righteous dad bod will belong to me. If only he'd stop pushing me away and let me love him. She doesn't know Hunter wants me as much as I want him. My mother thinks I'll get over it when he turns me down. But I know my own mind, and my heart won't settle for anyone but Hunter King. I never set my sights on my father's right-hand man and confidante.

I never planned to fall head over heels for a man twice my age.
