Publisher's Summary

From USA Today best-selling author Christina Hovland comes a single parent, #DateMyCelebrityDad, forced proximity romance.

Divorce her Beverly Hills husband: check. Set the neighborhood dumpster on fire with her nightstand buddy: check. Her hunky celebrity chef neighbor rushes to her aid? Sigh. Check mate.

Emmaline Eaton is doing her best to avoid the attractive chef, but their daughters just became best friends.

Ethan Greene's culinary show and career are in shambles. He already has too much on his plate trying to figure out the single parent life when his daughter launches a trending hashtag of #DateMyCelebrityDad. Now, he’s getting all kinds of unwanted attention, so he calls in a favor from Emmaline. If she could just pretend to be his date until the social media mayhem dies down, that would be fabulous.

But when their kids play matchmaker, just how much heat can Ethan and Emmaline handle?

*Originally on preorder as Everything's Fine, Emmaline.
