Hollywood bad boy Hayden Reynolds is plagued by scandal after scandal. After one too many fights with the paparazzi and more than a few trashed hotel rooms, his agent holds an intervention. He needs to shake his bad boy image and work on a squeaky clean and wholesome new look if he wants to keep his career on track. Just as he's trying to turn his life around, the ultimate bombshell is suddenly dropped on him. Hayden discovers he has a young daughter he never knew about - the product of a long passed and short-lived relationship - and she's coming to live with him. Hayden has no idea about being a dad, he barely knows how to take care of himself. When Hollywood Mannies sends James to help, he thinks things will fall into place immediately. What he doesn't expect is that while things with Violet get better, his personal feelings for his manny only grow complicated.James Everett is the complete opposite of Hayden. He's sweet, geeky, down to earth and his love for children has made him one of the most sought-after nannies in Los Angeles. The only trade-in is he has to deal with the children's often snooty parents with more money than sense. He can tell straight away that Hayden has no clue about raising a child. Then again, it's his job to do most of that anyway. When he takes the live-in position at Hayden's mansion, he thinks he's landed his dream job. Little Violet is sassy, funny and smart. She's also troubled by the sudden death of her mother and being thrown into a whole new world she never knew about. She warms to James quickly but doesn't seem to want to know her father. James is used to playing mediator so this isn't new for him. However, falling for the man whose daughter he's supposed to be helping is. When a man from Violet's past threatens to destroy the world Hayden and James have created for her, questions are raised. Hayden must navigate his newfound fatherhood and do what he can to protect the little girl he'd do anything for. Even if that means breaking his heart in the process. Can Hayden really have his career, his daughter and a man to love by his side? And can James really put his heart on the line for a man who's afraid to love him in public? Daddy and the Manny is a full-length novel about love, discovery, and family. It contains some steamy scenes and a whole lot of sweetness and of course has a wonderful HEA.
Manny /ma·ne/ n A male nanny or babysitter, known to be handsome, fabulous, and a lover of eighties music. "Be interesting." That's what the manny tells Keats Dalinger the first time he packs Keats's school lunch, but for Keats that's not always the easiest thing to do. Even though he's the only boy at home, it always feels like no one ever remembers him. His sisters are everywhere! Lulu is the smart one, India is the creative one, and Belly...well, Belly is the naked one. And the baby. School isn't much better. There, he's the shortest kid in the entire class. But now the manny is the Dalinger's new babysitter, and things are starting to look up. It seems as though the manny always knows the right thing to do. Not everyone likes the manny as much as Keats does, however. Lulu finds the manny embarrassing, and she's started to make a list of all the crazy things that he does, such as serenading the kids with "La Cucaracha" from the front yard or wearing underwear on his head or meeting the school bus with Belly, dressed as limo drivers. Keats is worried. What if Lulu's "Manny Files" makes his parents fire the manny? Who will teach him how to be interesting then?
The moving story of how a father and his young son recaptured their love of baseball—a winning testament to why the game matters and how it can still bring us together in spite of itself. In recent years something hasn't been quite right with baseball. Ask Jim Gullo: he'll tell you even a seven-year-old kid knows it. In December 2007, just as Jim's young son Joe was beginning to develop a true passion for the game, the bombshell news of players' steroid use made it clear that America's pastime wasn't what it claimed to be. Suddenly, Jim found himself struggling to answer questions from Joe that had nothing to do with batting averages or World Series champions: What are steroids? Who was using them? Wasn't it cheating? Why weren't the players who got caught suspended or punished by baseball? While Jim searched for the right words and Major League Baseball dithered, Joe took matters into his own hands: he removed the players who had been named as likely drug users from his prized baseball card collection and created a cheaters pile. Then he created a different category of suspected "juicers" to keep an eye on. He took these players' poster -- even the poster of his favorite slugger, Manny Ramirez -- down from his bedroom walls. The steroid scandal had clearly hit home. Rather than wait for an official explanation and apology from Major League Baseball that would never materialize, Jim and Joe set out to find their own answers. They traveled the country from coast to coast, from Spring Training contests to major and minor league games—speaking with players, prospects, and managers while tracking down the legends and ghosts of baseball's golden age. And one day they discovered an aging but dedicated prospect who would become not only a true role model for Joe, but also the unlikely inspiration to lure both father and son back to the game they loved. By turns humorous, heartbreaking, and inspiring, Trading Manny tells the story of their journey back to baseball -- how along the way Joe traded his idol Manny for a more worthy hero, and Jim discovered something invaluable about being a father.
