I love being single. I don’t answer to a significant other or any children, and I get to see the world on the company dime. Next stop? Milan. The longer than expected layover in New York is a bit of a bummer, but the night I spend with two strangers from my flight? H.A.W.T. I don’t know which I enjoy more—the way words roll off their tongues in their incredible Italian accents, or the way they use those tongues on me.

My ex taking our daughters to Disneyland is his latest way to prove Dad Rules and Mom Sucks. While they're riding roller coasters, I'm taking a trip of my own—a long deserved island getaway for one.

Ramsey’s family is local royalty. Basically the Kennedys around here. And, he doesn’t have a problem using his money and connections to work the system. It’s the reason he and I didn’t work out, years ago. Then, I make a mistake - I let a night of fun and relived memories lead to inviting him and his best friend-slash-campaign manager into my bed.

Lucas Wade is losing his sight. As the darkness threatens to swamp him, the one bright spot in his day comes in the form of Natalie Fontaine. She works in the sales office, hundreds of miles away, and she alone treats him like a regular guy. She has no idea about his disability, and he doesn't plan on telling her about it.

With my boy growing up and moving out and me hitting my mid-forties, I’m looking toward all the things I missed out on in life.

Do I swipe right, speed date, or maybe just stand on a corner and shout forty and single, please date me?
