The Challenge: A Single Dad Romance - Hardcover

by Penelope Ward (Author)

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance...

Nothing says welcome home like accidentally moving in with your first heartbreak...and his little girl.

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family's old belongings.

Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci's house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I'd rented. He'd taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay.

Evan-the guy my parents took in years ago after his mother died.

The same Evan who used to dare me into ridiculous challenges that somehow always made me stronger-a game we'd dubbed The Challenge.

The same guy who ultimately rejected me before I left for college after I'd finally garnered the courage to shoot my shot.

Now Evan was a rugged single dad with an eight-year-old daughter, a cocky attitude, and a dangerous ability to make me forget every reason I should still hate him.

Sharing a house with him should've been unbearable. Instead, it felt dangerously familiar, nearly making me forget that I had a life and a job to get back to in Chicago. I realized the biggest challenge wasn't surviving living with Evan Ricci.

It was not falling in love with him all over again.
