About SEXIEST DAD ALIVE
Josh Bennett
It was a simple offer.
I invited Isla to rent a
room in my five thousand square foot home. Plenty of rooms and plenty of space.
But the second she moved in, I knew I was in trouble. I could handle wanting
her when there was distance between us, but once we started to play house, all
my pent up desire started knocking down walls.
That was my first
mistake of many.
The private investigator
I hired to track down my ex found her not far from where I live. I should have
locked my past behind me, but something urged me to find her. I’m glad I did.
But our union left me with a situation to be reckoned with.
When a new fire is lit
and old flames rekindle, one will have to burn out.
The decisions I’ll have
to make won’t be easy.
No matter what I choose,
my heart will break.

Excerpt:
Josh
It took me thirty minutes to get to her house. Not
hours, not days. She lived thirty minutes from my house. Thirty freakin’
minutes. Inhaling a deep breath, I willed myself to calm down as I released the
tight grip on the steering wheel. But panic slammed hard against my rib cage.
I’d found her—well, technically the private investigator I had hired found her.
But what the hell was I supposed to do next?
I’d played out the scenario in my head while I drove.
Knock on the door. When she answered, tell her I heard she lived nearby and
thought I’d stop by to find out how she was doing. It all seemed simple and
easy in my mind, but as I parked at the curb of her house under a grand oak
tree, nerves knotted inside my stomach. Fuck
it! I’m an idiot. Starting the engine, I decided to leave the past behind
and lock it for good, but then I spotted a movement inside the house. I killed
the engine and became a stalker.
I jumped in my seat when my phone ringing startled
me. Staring at the phone, I eased my breathing to a steadier beat. Wondering if
any one of the neighbors spotted me loitering in the car put me on edge. Heart
still thumping, I read the text. A text from Isla usually put a grin on my
face, but not at that moment. Every single muscle tensed—I couldn’t shit if I
wanted to.
Isla: Where are you?
Heat rushed to my face. Lie.
Me: I’m about to head home. Where are you?
Isla: Home. I meant your home.
Me: It’s your home too. You live there.
Isa: I made dinner. Thought we could eat together.
My
lips curled at her kind gesture.
Me: Sounds great. I’ll see you in an hour.
Isla: See ya.
An hour. I’d have thirty minutes to drive back home
and thirty minutes to say hello and leave. Or just stare at the house. Grow some balls, Josh. What’s the harm in
saying hello? Placing my hand on the
door handle, I tugged a little, but my planted legs refused to budge as my
heart hammered faster with every effort I made to get out of the car. It’s been almost two freakin’ years since
she disappeared out of your life without a goodbye or explanation, that’s why,
you idiot. She didn’t care about you when she left, and she still doesn’t give
a fuck. Get the fuck out of there.
Five minutes rolled by. Ten … fifteen … twenty. I had
to go soon. Clenching my teeth, I shoved myself out of the car and forced my
feet to the front door before I chickened out again. As I passed by the window,
I caught a glimpse of Shelly, unclear but definitely her.
Her
back was toward me, but I remembered her face perfectly. How could I ever
forget my first love? My first heartbreak. That woman made my heart expand to
the fullest, only to burst it with her lies.
Her blonde hair, shorter than before, zapped me back
to our past, and my heart raced as I remembered all the good and bad we shared.
And the scent of the perfume she had worn every day—Poison, how fitting—whiffed
through my nostrils and pulled up old memories. The pain of her absence started
to chip away the wall I had built and started to crawl into my heart.
She
bent out of my line of sight. The sun dipping to end the day reflected on the
window and blinded me. What she held in her arms when the glare faded, or I
should say whom she held in her arms, stopped me in my tracks. I stared in
shock and confusion. My heart lurched in my throat. The tightness trapped all
the oxygen in my lungs, and I couldn’t breathe.
What the fuck? A baby? Her baby? The baby couldn’t be
more than a year. Doing the math … ten months of pregnancy, plus a year or less
for the baby’s age, equaled two years. About two years ago, she disappeared
from my life. Was the baby mine? Or did she cheat on me? Anger flared, and the
rage that still lived in the pit of my stomach resurfaced. I’d always suspected
she ran off with another man. Maybe she did cheat and got pregnant. Perhaps she
didn’t have the guts to tell me, so she ran. Things didn’t add up.
I
pulled back before she saw me, and I rushed to the safety nest of my car. I
became that boy with a shattered heart again as I shrank down in my seat to
soak it all in. But what if the baby was mine? What if she lied to me? Would
she?
I
should have left my past behind. But once I located Pandora’s box, I had to
open it. It would eat at me day and night if I never knew the truth. Oh, fuck
me. Okay. I had to gather myself, figure out how to find the truth. But not
that day. With my poker face on, I drove out of there as fast as I could.

WATCH THE TRAILER: https://youtu.be/loLaqma2-kgT
Nathan Cross is a struggling actor waiting tables at a local
restaurant to make ends meet while he attends endless auditions. Though his
hopeful career moves at a slow pace, Olivia is the strength and sunshine in his
life… until she leaves him. One day, he is offered a contract with a modeling
agent, leading him to work for Knight Fashion Magazine—a dream job he never
imagined would become a reality.
Olivia swore she would always put her career first and that’s
precisely what she did when she left Nathan. Having a deadbeat dad and watching
her mom work two jobs to make ends meet have been her driving force. When she
is offered a modeling career, she drops everything—even the love of her life—and
moves to New York. Though Nathan and Olivia try to steer clear of one another,
working for the same fashion magazine causes their paths to cross again and old
emotions are awakened.
Can Nathan forgive Olivia or will he take the next step with the woman
he is currently dating? Will Olivia do everything she can to break them apart?
Or will she choose her career over her heart… again?
