Single Dad Dilemma (The Kings)

Karla Sorensen

NEW RELEASE

Billionaires & Millionaires Romance

A gruff, divorced NFL coach meets his match in an equally grumpy, commitment-phobic neighbor in this warm-hearted and witty romance about family, second chances, and overcoming the past. 🏈

You’d think it was the perfect setup: living next door to the grumpy single dad who needs my help with his troublemaking kids—just until football season is over. 😅 Swoony stuff, right?

You know who’s not swooning? Me. 💁‍♀️

I’m as grumpy as he is, and I’m fairly certain that for NFL Coach Barrett King, it was hate at first sight. 😤 It’s nothing I’ll lose sleep over because 1) the feeling is mutual, and 2) I’m not a people person. Just me and my dog, Larry, moving around when the mood strikes, is what I prefer.

Except I start getting attached. 💕 First to the kids. Then to their father. I don’t know why. He’s overbearing. His attempts at flirting are just growls and glares. But if I ever see that man smile…well, I might tear all his clothes off. 🔥

I don’t do forever. And Barrett—serious, thoughtful, sexier than he has any right to be—doesn’t do short term. 💔 We’re headed straight for disaster.

But if we’re willing to take a risk, maybe this story won’t end in heartbreak. ✨ Maybe what started as the perfect setup for two imperfect people just might end in love. ❤️

Here’s why this matters: Karla Sorensen delivers a grumpy-meets-grumpy romance that flips the usual tropes by pairing an equally commitment-phobic heroine with a serious single-dad NFL coach, creating witty banter and slow-burn chemistry as two people who don’t do attachments discover they just might be each other’s exception. Perfect for fans of forced proximity and characters who are their own worst enemies when it comes to love!

Nicole Fox

NEW RELEASE

Mafia Romance

Nine months. 👶 My body. His rules. 💼

It started as a business deal. 🔥 My fertility clinic needed one high-profile client to survive. I approached Stefan Safonov—billionaire, recluse, arrogant, gorgeous. 💰

He agreed... 😏 Way, way too easily. That should’ve been my first warning. ⚠️

Then the potential surrogate backed out. 😱 But the contract didn’t. And suddenly, the only option left was... 💔

Me. 😰

I walked in to end the deal. 🚪 I walked out pregnant with his baby. 🤰

NINE MONTHS TO BEAR is Book 1 of the Safonov Bratva duet. Stefan and Olivia’s story continues in Book 2, NINE MONTHS TO LOVE. 💕

What drew me in: Nicole Fox launches the Safonov Bratva duet with an explosive premise—a fertility clinic owner becomes the surrogate for a dangerous billionaire when her business deal goes sideways, binding her to nine months under his control. This is high-stakes mafia romance with forced proximity, pregnancy tropes, and a cliffhanger that leads directly into book two, so clear your schedule for the whole duet!
