Single Dad Nanny Romance
Transport yourself to the island of Nantucket in this beachy, feel-good summer romance! 🏖️
With a looming deadline and a serious lack of inspiration to meet it, jet-setting artist Natalie Walker returns to her lifelong refuge of Nantucket. 🎨 There, she meets Jack McNally, a former perpetual bachelor who’s in over his head after the tragic death of his best friend left him with the responsibilities of a beachside café and a bouncing baby boy.
When Natalie breezes into town looking for a job and a place to stay, Jack eagerly offers her both—but living and working so closely when they are both wildly attracted to each other is bound to get tricky. 🔥 When they eventually give in to their desires, the results are sizzling, but what happens when one person was always destined to leave and the other never wants to?
McCarthy sets her romance against the picturesque backdrop of Nantucket—sandy beaches, coastal charm, and the kind of small-island community where everyone knows everyone. ⚓ The forced proximity of living and working together accelerates the attraction, and Jack’s adorable infant adds emotional depth without overwhelming the romance.
The tension comes from a classic conflict: Natalie’s life and career are elsewhere, and Jack has just put down roots he can’t abandon. 💕 The single dad/nanny trope gets a fresh treatment here, with an artist heroine who’s not looking for permanence colliding with a man who suddenly needs stability more than anything.
Note: This book contains explicit language and sexual content. It touches on the topics of loss of a friend and loss of a parent. 📖
Here’s what you’re getting: a steamy summer romance set on Nantucket, featuring a commitment-phobic artist and a single dad trying to figure out fatherhood while running a café. 🌊 Perfect for beach reading with heat and heart.

Donald E. Westlake

Humorous Fiction
In 1977, one of the world’s finest crime novelists attempted something audacious: a suspense novel without any crime at all. 🚕 The manuscript sat unpublished for decades. Now, finally, readers can discover what MWA Grandmaster Donald E. Westlake created when he turned his gifts toward a different kind of tension entirely.
A New York City taxi driver is hired to drive a beautiful woman all the way across America—from Manhattan to Los Angeles—where the biggest decision of her life awaits. 🛣️ Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California. The journey becomes the story, and the question of what she’ll decide when she arrives provides all the suspense the narrative needs.
Westlake proves that a page-turner doesn’t require a bomb ticking down or a body in the trunk. The sparks here come from conversation, from the slow revelation of character, from two people sharing confined space across thousands of miles. 💕 It’s witty, thought-provoking, and surprisingly romantic—a wild road trip that demonstrates Westlake’s range extended far beyond the heist novels and comic capers he’s known for.
Stephen King called Westlake’s work “cause for happiness,” and this final unpublished novel shows why. ✨ The voice is unmistakable, the pacing impeccable, and the central question—will she or won’t she?—proves that human decisions can generate as much suspense as any crime.
Here’s what you’re getting: a delightful discovery from a beloved master, proving that the best suspense comes from caring what happens to people. 🗽 A must-read for Westlake fans and anyone who loves a great road trip story.
