In this sequel to the bestselling Bachelor Kisses,
Jon Marshall has come a long way since his bachelor days.
In a post-Duran Duran world, Jon is a laser-wielding skin specialist who drives a BMW, owns his own home, and falls prey to the vicissitudes of e-mail dating. But life hasn't taken the path he guessed it would back in his twenties, and he now faces up to being the lone parent of a baby girl, the Bean. Throw in a new running buddy--a woman with an accident-prone cat--and watch Jon's world spiral out of control. (Source: Trove)

Carlo is a thirty-year-old dermatologist who owns a nice house and a sports car, and has a ten-month-old baby girl, Sofia, whom he adores. The void left in his life caused by the premature loss of his young wife, who died giving birth to Sofia, is filled by the love and attention that his friends and family provide him with: always there by his side, relentlessly ready to help him out with the toddler. Everything is normal, almost commonplace. Until his bubble-like life, organised in a reassuring routine, is shaken by the arrival of Camille ...
