From international bestselling and Amazon Top 20 author comes a heart‑wrenching small‑town romance about a grumpy single dad, a self‑appointed Love Expert, and the speed‑dating disaster that turns into something dangerously close to fate.

Billy Caster is a single dad, a small-town detective, and the grumpiest man in Plainview.

Eight years after losing his wife in childbirth, his life is reduced to three things: his chaos-loving eight-year-old son, his badge, and emotional walls no one gets past.

Then Magnolia Sava moves in next door.

His second-grade best friend.

His first love.

The woman he never forgot—even after he married someone else.

Maggie never planned to come home, but inheriting her grandmother’s house forces her back… along with her new role as Plainview’s resident Love Expert and host of the town’s first-ever speed dating event. When the eternally brooding, infuriatingly attractive single dad shows up—and that cranky jerk is in possession of the lucky door ticket—she’s stuck delivering the full Magnolia Sava Love Package.

Now it’s Maggie’s job to teach Billy how to date.

She’ll pick his clothes.

Teach him how to make the ladies happy.

Babysit his kid.

Find him the perfect woman.

Sigh. That's where things get complicated.

Love Expert is a grumpy x sunshine, second-chance, small-town standalone romance packed with sizzling sneak-away spice, aching chemistry, emotional destruction, and an adorable eight-year-old who might just steal your heart first.
