Dads of Stillwater Series
NEWCOMER
I lost everything in the fight for my daughter...
​
So, with my tail between my legs and completely out of options, I ran back to Stillwater. The town that stole everything from me.
​
The only silver lining is...Arlo.
Arlo, who won my daughter’s heart with a simple gesture. Arlo, who charmed me before I even knew his name. And here I thought returning home was going to be yet another train-wreck.
​
How could I not fall for the guy who didn’t think twice about taking a phallic-looking plant into a bar for a drink.
We both have secrets, baggage, and a connection that feels more real than any I’ve had before.
​
But I can’t start something new.
Not in the town that still hates me and is not afraid to show me every step of the way.
Besides, I need to put my daughter first.
​
Can the newcomer and the returnee change the town that never changes?
​
Newcomer is book 1 in Ana Ashley’s new series, Dads of Stillwater.
Welcome to Stillwater where you can find single dads, sassy kids and Ana’s usual cast of intriguing secondary characters.
ANTAGONIST
Single dads. Polar opposites. Undeniable chemistry.
Harrison
Meeting at a bachelor auction for charity has trouble written all over it as far as I am concerned. Especially when the guy with the winning bid seems to be after only one thing...a good time between the sheets.
Refusing the advances of a man who’s too good looking for his own good, is easy at first. But how can I stay away from him when our kids are in the same class and trouble is already brewing between the two?
Fletcher
What do you do when the guy you can’t stop thinking about—and thought you’d never see again—turns up at your kid’s school?
You bring your A-game and flirt until he caves.
Harrison is hell bent on resisting the chemistry between us.
That is until we’re thrown together to organize the school’s Spring Fair.
Will that be my only chance to prove to him that I’m looking for more than a casual fling?
Antagonist is book 2 in Ana Ashley’s new series, Dads of Stillwater. You can expect bumping heads, show-stealing kids, a school fair so heated it may just go up in flames, lovable secondary characters, and Ana’s usual happy ever after.
BREAKTHROUGH
A young single dad. An older man. An impossible love story.
Milo
I lost everyone I’ve ever loved, but there’s one person I’m determined to keep. The baby I was left with when tragedy struck once more.
Now my life is all about surviving. I don’t have time to date, or relationships.
That is until Ellis, the sexy, older, and kind primary school teacher who’s currently living rent free in my head with no intention of moving out, gives me the second job I desperately need.
But why would he want a guy from the wrong side of town, who’s barely paying the bills and comes with a plus one?
Ellis
Moving to Stillwater was the fresh start I needed after having my heart stomped on and my career practically destroyed.
Despite my family’s best efforts, I’m determined that nothing shall break through the walls I’ve built around myself. No more relationships.
That is until I meet the much younger grocery store cashier with the warm brown eyes, and accidentally give him a job.
As I get to know Milo, brick by brick that wall is coming down and no matter how much I resist I’m starting to run out of excuses as to why I shouldn’t give in.
But why would he want anything with someone much older when he could have anyone else?
Breakthrough is book 3 in Ana Ashley’s series, Dads of Stillwater. This story contains an age gap, a sweet nine-month-old baby everyone will coo about, all the feels and Ana Ashley’s usual happy ever after.
HEARTSTRING
Mik
If I had a dollar for every mistake I made… But there’s only one mistake I regret.
Breaking my promise to the only person who ever understood my need to get away from a future I didn’t want…Tyler.
I’ve reached many hearts through my music, but the only one I’ve ever wanted might be lost to me forever.
Tyler
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…
Mik broke a promise a long time ago.
What he doesn’t know is that he also broke my heart.
I won’t be fooled or charmed again because his promises aren’t worth the sheet music they’re written on.
His all too-resourceful teenage daughter’s skills at matchmaking may be charming, but I’m not ready to forgive or forget.
Heartstring is book 4 in Ana Ashley’s series, Dads of Stillwater. This story contains two older guys who were always destined for each other, a know-it-all teenager, and a Labrador with short-term memory loss. Plus the usual hearts and all the small town romance you’d expect from Ana Ashley.
BITTERSWEET
Things I like: bitter coffee, competency…oh and the guy that breezes into my coffee shop like a shot of espresso—bold, invigorating, and impossible to ignore.
​
Running Bittersweet has been nothing short of a rollercoaster—and not the fun kind. Between kitchen fires and unreliable helpers, I've been on a first-name basis with disaster.
​
Enter Constantine.
With his teenage brother in tow, Constantine whips up pastries with an expertise that leaves me both impressed and intrigued.
​
But it's not just his skills that catch my attention. Constantine brings a new dynamic to my life, forcing me to rethink my priorities.
Could it be that amidst the chaos, I've found something, or someone, worth holding onto?
