Daddy Bear Picnic by Joe Satoria

I wasn’t looking for a Daddy… he found me.
After inheriting a rundown home in Pineberry Falls, Malcolm Haynes decides it’s time to relocate and that’s hard considering all the stuffies he’s got to U-Haul… but what’s even harder is seeing the state of the old home, and how it might be more than he can handle.

Elijah Ashwood had wanted to get his hands on the old Plum Lane house for a while… he didn’t want it for himself, he just hated seeing so much lost potential… and after seeing a guy attempt to break in and step through the porch, his sense of justice and caretaking kicked in.
Except that wasn’t just some guy.
There’s an immediate connection.
Maybe it’s all the paint fumes and summer heat…
Or maybe it’s the secret stuffy Malcolm has guiding him to his Daddy.

Pineberry Falls: Summer Daddies are a series of novellas set in a Vermont small town where a little is their town mayor, and play dates are mandatory.
