Conventional wisdom holds that fathers have few parenting skills and that mothers always know best. The single father is often considered a mythical creature, found only in sitcoms as an object of humor or pity. Where does that leave real single dads? Too often, it makes them susceptible to overcompensation or apathy. Tez Brooks knows those feelings all too well. He’s traveled that road with his own children after an unexpected divorce. The Single Dad Detour is the result of his journey and the lessons he’s learned along the way. It’s a guidebook for the rocky road of single fatherhood, extending encouragement, confidence, and challenges, using specific examples from dads who’ve survived parenting and have hope to offer. There are no unreachable requirements for perfect fatherhood here and no twisty theological mysteries—just authentic, downto- earth wisdom from one dad to another.

Falling for her student's single dad was the last thing she expected... What is life supposed to look like when you are 38? Usually we think that we should be happily married, with a good decade behind us with our partner, and a couple kids at home. But for Blake, things aren’t quite falling in line with the usual narrative. At 38, he has been single for two years, having divorced the mother of his child, and he is sharing custody time of his 16-year-old daughter with her. As far as he is concerned, this is just how things are going to be, and he doesn’t hold out much hope for it improving. Then he meets Emily, his daughter’s history teacher. Their first meeting is rather uneventful, simply discussing his daughter’s struggles in her class, though the attraction is there. But when he and his squad from the fire department put out her house fire and save her cat, things speed up. Of course, getting involved with a divorced father is going to be complicated, and Emily has some baggage of her own...

Ten sexy single fathers who play poker every Saturday night, have each other's backs, love their children without quarter, and hope to one day find love again. This is Aaron's story ...

Professional nanny Isobel Jones has a heart of gold. She's always willing to help out, no matter the cause. She spends her days with children making memories and her nights on the laptop making magic as a graphic designer. After hearing Aaron's heartbreaking story, she jumps at the chance to help. But she never expected her new boss to be a blue-eyed Adonis with dog tags, who quickly begins to fuel her fantasies. While the beautiful nanny is off-limits, she's also a welcomed distraction. Aaron's grief is still raw and he just knows he's going to mess up this whole dad thing. Isobel's never shied away from a challenge, and that's exactly what Aaron is--a big challenge. He's angry and stubborn, moody and confusing, and yet she knows deep down he's capable of so much love.
