How to Nail a Stud by Katharine Sadler

Release Date: April 16th 2021

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Shel is tired of dating men who don’t appreciate her rock and roll wardrobe or her tomboy tendencies. She’s swearing off dating, and she is not going to give another moment’s thought to the hot single dad next door. She is not going to waste a single moment dwelling on his muscles or his eyes or the way he plays with his adorable six-year-old daughter.

Max has made mistakes, he’s been a terrible father, and he has no problem spending the rest of his life atoning by being the best, most devoted parent he can possibly be. A devoted father does not have wicked thoughts about his sexy neighbor, and he most certainly does not consider an actual relationship.

Except, he can’t stop thinking about Shel, and he’s not sure what to do about it.

Shel wiped one greasy hand on her worn out jeans and stood. It'd taken some work to clean the air filter, change the oil, oil the chain, and wash her motorcycle, especially in the heat of midday, springtime Las Vegas, but it was worth it. Her baby looked practically new and ready for anything. She propped her hands on her hips, Nature’s Mother rocking her ears through her earbuds, and stepped back to check out her work from another angle.

She tripped over something warm and furry. Her body tilted and she windmilled her arms to try and recover her balance, but there was no stopping her descent. She yelped and twisted just enough to see Addy Mason's blond braids and the black and white fur of her St. Bernard, Rabbit, before warm hands wrapped around her biceps and pushed her back up to a stand.

Yanking out her earbuds, she spun and found herself face to face with her neighbor, Max Mason. Shel swallowed hard and did her best to look like she hadn't nearly eaten asphalt.

Why had she never learned to be cool? Spending a good portion of her life on the road with rock bands should have taught her, but no dice.

She forced a smile and Max's brow furrowed. Damn it, she'd smiled weird.

"Sorry." He gestured to his six-year-old daughter. "She ran over here before I could stop her. Your dog settled right behind you to visit with her."

Shel didn't have to force a smile when she looked down at Addy. The little girl was always welcome in her yard to visit with Rabbit.

It was because of Addy that Shel even knew Max's name. She'd also learned from the talkative little girl that Max worked hard as a construction foreman, that he gave the best hugs, and that he used funny voices when he read to Addy.

Shel had figured out all on her own that Max had piercing blue eyes, a body packed with muscle, and an ass that looked equally good in running shorts, jeans, and cargo pants.

She'd learned nothing from Max directly, because he'd never said more than a brief hello to her in passing. As sweet as Addy was, Max was curt and borderline rude. She'd gotten the message, to her disappointment, that he wasn't interested in getting to know her better.
