Leo Hawthorne thought he had his life completely figured out. Fifty years old, widowed, and running his family's historic bookshop, he was perfectly content with quiet rainy days, the scent of old paper, and the steady routine of a life undisturbed. He wasn’t looking for a change. He certainly wasn’t looking for them. When a massive estate acquisition forces Leo to hire Quill and Crew, a three-man local moving company, his quiet sanctuary is turned upside down. Enter Jude: the exhausted, responsible leader who desperately needs to surrender control. Finn: the talkative, bratty aspiring writer who hides behind humor but aches to be truly seen. And Riley: the quiet, heavily tattooed observer who has spent his whole life feeling like a spare part. The chemistry between the four of them is instant. The heat is undeniable. As a predatory rival tries to force a buyout and steal Hawthorne and Sons out from under him, these three incredible young men step up to stand by his side. They might just be exactly what Leo needs to save his family's legacy—and his heart. But can one older man really be the anchor for three beautiful, chaotic boys? Bookshop Daddy and the Delivery Lads is a high-heat, standalone MMMM why-choose contemporary romance. It features age-gap dynamics, intense praise, sweet hurt/comfort, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
