High Balls

Can a single-dad professor learn the truth about romance from a tattooed bartender? You bet your High Balls!Though only twenty-six, single father Theodore Walters lives with his head in the clouds and his feet firmly planted in reality. At the center of his life is Andy, his seven-year- old son, with whom he shares no DNA, though nobody- including his religious-fanatic in-laws-knows that, and Theodore will do anything to keep them from finding out. Theodore works hard to get his PhD and the tenure and salary that might follow to make a better life for Andy- but the head of his department thinks his dissertation on Jane Austen and romance novels is frivolous. Theodore's carefully planned life goes off the rails when he walks into a popular Laguna Beach bar and meets the bartender, "Snake" Erasmo, a pierced and tattooed biker who sends Theodore's imagination-and libido- soaring. Snake has even more secrets than Theodore and couldn't be a less "appropriate" match, but he might be the only guy with the skills to show Theodore that happily ever after is for real.
