Lila Moreno and her two best friends, Meryl Morgenstern are social mutants. Not because of who they are, but who their guy-repellent daddies are. Lila's dad is the chief of police; Meryl's dad is the football coach, the driver's ed instructor, and the dean of discipline at the high school; and Caressa's dad is a famous musician. Boys are too terrified and intimidated by the girls' dads to come anywhere near them. So Lila, Meryl, and Caressa decide to take matters into their own hands. On the night of homecoming, instead of going dateless, they hold a Dumb Supper -- a Celtic ritual that shows single young women who their soul mates are. The dinner doesn't go exactly as planned, but never could they guess how much this loser's alternative to homecoming would change their lives.
Everyone’s bringing baggage to this baby shower… Carmen James is nowhere near finished picking up the pieces after her divorce, and the last thing she needs is a positive pregnancy test. The fact that she doesn’t know for sure who the father is doesn’t help matters, but on the bright side, there’s only two candidates: Donovan, her best friend… or Isaac, his longtime boyfriend. Carmen’s struggling with an impossible-to-please family in between getting back on her feet. Donovan has his hands full with a teenager, plus a strained relationship with his own father, whose approval Donovan desperately craves. Isaac’s questioning his sexuality, not to mention wondering if he can handle a newborn at forty. And to top it off, they won’t know who the father actually is until the baby’s born, which has both men questioning how the outcome will affect their longstanding relationship. Oh, and there’s that minor detail about the undeniable three-way attraction that got them all into bed in the first place. Since they’re all quite compatible in the bedroom, and Carmen’s already pregnant, a casual sexual relationship seems like a good idea in the beginning. When emotions get involved, though, they could drive Carmen, Donovan, and Isaac apart when they need each other the most. Get ready for three people in one hell of a pickle (anyone have any ice cream?), parents who suck at parenthood, parents-to-be who think they’ll suck at parenthood, a relationship-friendship-sexual-kind-of-thing that keeps getting more complicated, and a Chuck Norris joke. This 99,000 word bisexual menage romance novel was previously published.

As wrestling superstar 'Big Daddy, ' Shirley Crabtree became a larger-than-life national icon in the halycon days of televised wrestling. A 'People's Champion' in a glittery cape, he put bums on seats, appeared in comics and on records and once attracted a TV audience of 18 million. But in private the ageing Daddy's life was tinged with tragedy.
In this world, Daddy makes the rules. Kit is one of the last holdouts of a female-led resistance to our government's utopian vision. She's tough. Maybe too tough. She's never known real laughter. She's never let herself cry. I intend to change that. I am Senator Roman Daley, and I started the colony of Paternas to reform women like Kit. Here, I plan to give her what she needs: the firm guidance of the daddy she never had. I want to give her the childhood she never know. That will mean love and nuturing. It will also mean taking her over my knee and spanking her until she begs for mercy. My goal is to make her my mate. But there's another reason I'm doing this. The utopian world of New Bethel isn't as perfect as it seems. I'll need Kit's help to change it, but first I have to earn her obedience.
