So we’re PB and Js.
We liked the name Jack because of Jack-o-lantern and also that was the name of the Pumpkin King from the film The Nightmare before Christmas.
And Janet we got from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Yeah, you could say we have eclectic tastes.
But one thing is for sure. She will always be my sweet treat, and not just on Halloween but every day of the year.
“Somebody’s coming, dad!” Jack says and I put his feet back on the ground.
“Trick or treat!” we all say in unison when the door opens.
“Trick or treat!” Janet says about a full second late.
We all laugh including our neighbor standing in front of us. We call them our neighbors even though they technically live down the street.
But our street has become a community just like Pumpkin made my house a home.
That’s how it works when you find love and then find the ultimate happiness in the world…by seeing the smiles you put on the faces of your wife and your kids every day.
And that’s what really matters in this world.
And now that I have tenure at the university I have more time to spend at home.
Which means more opportunities to see those smiles and witness all those first time moments that kids do.
And it all started with the first woman I ever loved.
My perfect Pumpkin Patch.

Halloween With Dad's Best Friend
Zooey has always felt kind of out of the loop when it comes to her father’s life. Since her parents divorced, she hasn’t had much to do with him. Now, he’s looking to be a bigger part of her life, starting this Halloween at his costume party.
Enter Wes, her Dad’s older, hot best friend. He’s forty-one, charming and sexy, even when he’s at a masked ball. He might be twenty years older than her, but Zooey can’t hide her attraction to him when they meet for the first time.
As Zooey gets closer to her father and spends more time with Wes, she’s about to discover what it really means to fall for your Dad’s best friend.
*Halloween With Dad’s Best Friend is an insta-everything standalone instalove romance with an HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.
Chapter One
Wes
I want her as mine from the second my eyes lock on her. It feels almost wrong, seeing how young she is, but I can’t help myself from being attracted to her. It’s as though the whole world has faded into the background and now, there’s only her. That athletic body of hers has the primal side of me running wild, the need to take her into my arms and make her mine is strong. That ass of hers is so damn tempting, and her slender, athletic legs in her catsuit leave almost nothing to the imagination. I imagine what it would be like to peel back all that fake leather, and touch her bare skin. I picture running my hands through her sleek black hair and kissing her plump lips.
If only I could see the face behind her mask…
Zooey
I’m not usually the sort to be on the lookout for a man - especially not at my father’s Halloween extravaganza - but there must be something in the air tonight. Across the room, a man I’ve never seen before has caught my eye, drawing me in like a magnet. I want to go and talk to him so badly, but I guess I’ve always been kind of shy around the opposite sex. I’ve never made love to a man. Hell, I’ve never even had my first real kiss. But something tells me this handsome older man, with his strong jaw and his sexy eyes hidden behind his masquerade mask, is going to be the one to sweep me off my feet.
Chapter Two
Wes
These parties have never been my scene. Each and every year, my best friend and business partner, Lawrence, throws a Halloween extravaganza as a way of connecting with our friends and clients, but most years, I avoid it like the plague. This year he somehow convinced me to come. Since our company involves event management, the last thing I want after a hard week at work is to spend my day at one. And the Halloween extravaganza isn’t just one day. It spans from Friday night to Sunday evening. A little over the top if you ask me, but that’s Lawrence for you.
This place is like my worst nightmare. All the women here are dressed up in slutty skimpy costumes while the men drool over them and make dumb attempts to catch their attention. Meanwhile, I’m off to the side, admiring this beautiful young woman from afar. She’s standing with Lawrence right now, making what looks like forced polite conversation. He’s probably trying to impress her with one of his lame jokes, and fortunately, she doesn’t look as though she’s biting. It allows me to examine her in peace.
