What happens when your baby daddy becomes your biggest temptation?

Gabe and Stella were never meant to be more than co-parents. One night, one beautiful little girl, and five years of friendship built on love for their daughter, Elsie. But when life throws a curveball and forces Gabe to move in with Stella for six weeks, everything starts to shift.

Gabe knows he’s in deep—Stella’s the one he never got over, and living under the same roof is slowly driving him crazy in the best (and worst) way. Stella, on the other hand, has always kept her heart locked away... until now. Because suddenly, Gabe isn’t just Elsie’s amazing dad—he’s the man making her question everything.

Heartwarming, funny, and full of longing, The Stella Problem is a slow-burn romance that proves sometimes the love you’ve been searching for has been there all along.

Perfect for readers who love emotional depth, co-parenting chemistry, and swoon-worthy second chances. Grab your copy now and fall in love with Gabe and Stella’s story.

The Stella Problem

Almost five years ago a one-night stand turned into the best thing to ever happen to Gabe; his daughter, Elsie. The only problem is her mom, Stella, never wanted more and only wanted to be friends and co-parents. Now, due to some unfortunate living circumstances, he has to move in with her for a bit.

Gabe:

Stella is probably my favourite person in the world, other than my daughter Elsie. I can’t believe my luck that she ended up as the mother of my child. The only problem is, she definitely doesn’t feel anything for me. Now I have to live with her for six weeks and I’m barely hanging on. Having her around constantly is doing things to me and if I don’t do something about it soon, I might regret it for the rest of my life.

Stella:

I’m living with my baby daddy. To some people, that’s normal, for Gabe and me, it’s not. I like Gabe, I really do. He’s a great dad and just so happens to be my best friend’s cousin. But I’ve never felt anything more for him. That was until he moved in with me and started making me think twice about if I wanted to be with him or not. Seriously? Is it his mission while he’s here to make me fall for him? If it is, it might be working. But do I really want to risk screwing things up for Elsie?

What readers are saying...

While this is a stand alone a highly recommend reading book 1 first!!!! We get a glimpse of our characters Gabe & Stella there.

This story is so cute! I love it so much.

What! in the HEA

She has done it again! I cannot say enough about this series and these characters. I received an ARC of this book for an honest review last night and I finished it in a single sitting (again). This is my third read by this author and I have been sucked in for each and every one of them! Her writing is so very her, easy to read, and keeps you engaged from beginning to end!

I absolutely loved this book! It got me out of my reading slump. I’ve been so excited to read it considering how much I loved the first book in this series! I can’t wait to read more of her writing!
