High Balls
right happy ever after.
High Balls
(Balls To The Wall Series #6 )
by Tara Lain
Blurb:
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.

Excerpt
A
second later in his bedroom, as Theodore stood in his boxer briefs staring at
his minimal wardrobe, Andy stuck his head in the door. “Hiya, Dad.”
“Hi.”
“Whatcha
doing?”
“Trying
to figure out what to wear.”
He
wandered in and plopped on the unmade bed. “You got a date?”
“Uh,
kind of. I mean, yes.”
“So
what kind of guy is he?”
“What
do you mean?” Was his son checking his date’s résumé?
“You
know, is he, like, really conservative—I don’t mean, like, Republican, I mean,
does he wear ties and stuff? Or is he, like, ace?”
“Ace?”
“Uh,
like, rad, cool?”
“Definitely
cool.”
“Okay.”
He flipped on his stomach and pointed toward the closet. “Black jeans.”
Theodore
pulled his one good pair from the hanger and slid them on.
“Excellent.
Now white shirt.”
“Really?
Isn’t that kind of conservative?”
“No,
you gotta trust me.”
“Okay.”
He shrugged on the shirt. “Do I tuck it in?”
“Of
course. Black belt.”
He
did as instructed. Had to admit those jeans did show off his ass and the shirt
made him look more mature and a bit—well, cool.
“Okay,
now take the vest you wear to work.”
“You
mean, like, a suit vest?”
“Yeah.”
“Which
one? I have two.”
“Let
me look.” He hopped to a cross-legged position as Theodore held up his navy blue
vest and his tan vest.
“That
one.” He pointed toward the tan.
“You
sure?” Andy nodded. Hell, humor the kid.
I can take it off later. He slid on the vest and—son of a bitch if it
didn’t look bitchin’. “Hey, good job, this looks—” He grinned. “—ace.”
“Told
ya.”
Theodore
sat on the edge of the bed next to his fashion consultant. “I won’t be real
late, but go to bed on time for Jillian so you can get up and be smart
tomorrow. How’s your homework?” Personally he thought they gave second graders
too much, but he didn’t want to have Andy falling behind.
“I’ve
got a lot done.”
“Ask
Jillian to check it over when you’re finished, okay? If you need me, call me.”
“Sure.
Have a good time with the ace.” He flashed his little teeth with the big gap in
the middle.
“I
will, derp.” He kissed Andy’s nose.
“Dad,
nobody says that. Especially not grown-ups.”
“How
could someone so hopelessly uncool have such an awesome son?”
“Good
question.”
