Summary

He’s running himself ragged to keep his family together... Wyatt’s always been the caretaker for his three younger siblings, but when his parents’ negligence becomes too much, he needs to step in and make things official. Keeping the kids out of foster care and raising them by himself is almost too much for one 24 year old to handle, but he’ll do anything to protect his family. Even if it means turning to a staid and surprisingly attractive lawyer who’s willing to take his case on a pro bono basis. He’s the best family lawyer in the state... Forty year old Carter admires Wyatt’s determination to raise his siblings despite his young age. And they should have no problem keeping things professional. After all, Wyatt is too young for him and way too busy taking care of three kids. But the more time that Carter spends with the family, the more he finds himself fitting in and hoping for more. As long nights with Wyatt burn with the promise of passion, Carter will need to decide if he’s ready to risk his heart to take a chance at having everything he always wanted with a man and a family he never knew he could need. Love hasn’t come easy or stayed long for the men of Knot Pointe, Colorado. But now luck is on their side. They’ll seize their second chances and find the loves of their lives!

Summary

I can’t love him. It’s not allowed. Twenty years ago, I made a promise. If anything ever happened to Marc - my best friend - I'd step up and take care of his wife and baby son. I never thought I'd have to honor it. Never even dreamed that something would happen to him. He was an unyielding presence in my life. Always solid. Always there. And now he's dead. Murdered in cold blood. His wife, Lindy, is holding in there. But his son, Mason, isn't coping very well at all. It's gotten so bad that he may have to postpone his final semester of university. All I want to do is look out for him, and having me around seems to help. But I have a secret. It’s more than grief. Mason wants me - the way an omega wants their alpha. And heaven help me, but I want him, too. I'm so sorry, Marc. I love your son. And now I don't know what to do. Crushing On My Father's Best Friend is a dual point of view, contemporary mpreg audio book featuring a guaranteed happy ending and the healing that comes through the power of love. The first in its series, this title can be listened to as a standalone book.
