Love Bytes is very happy to show you the brand new cover of Sean Micheal’s re-release of Daddy, Daddy and Me!
Sean introduces us to the new cover, shares an excerpt and brought a wonderful giveaway.
Welcome Sean 🙂
Thank you to Love Bytes for hosting this cover reveal for Daddy, Daddy and Me.
This book is a reprint – thank you very much to Dreamspinner for taking it on, re-editing it and giving it a new cover.
Now I have to say that I loved the original cover for this book. In fact with this book, the cover came first. I saw this picture on a royalty free pic site of a child’s drawing of his family – the usual two parents, the house in the background, a tree, and of course the kid. Only the drawing had two adults and the kid had written at the top, Daddy, Daddy and Me. And that became the title and the picture the cover of the book. I was mourning the cover even as I submitted the book to Dreamspinner, then as I filled out the cover form, explaining the original cover’s story.
Then AJ Corza sent me three mock-ups for the Daddy, Daddy and Me cover and I couldn’t believe it. She’d topped the original cover. Not just matched it, topped it. I love this new cover so very much and I am thrilled to be able to share it with you!

Blurb:
When Jeff agreed to be the sperm donor to his best friend Beth, he never expected a tragedy to leave his newborn and three-year-old motherless. Beth’s loss has totally thrown his life into chaos: his lover has left him, his house isn’t anywhere near childproof, and his boss feels the restaurant has been patient enough with Jeff’s time off.
Donny has always known he wanted to work with kids, and he just finished his degree in early childhood education. He didn’t count on the prejudice he’d face as not only a male nanny, but a gay one at that. Job-hunting has been frustrating to say the least, so when he knocks on Jeff’s door and is greeted by the sounds of things breaking and a pair of screaming children, he thinks maybe he can begin this particular interview with a trial by fire.
Becoming the nanny to Jeff’s children might be a dream come true for Danny and exactly what Jeff needs, but are either of them ready to really be a family?

Jeff woke up to the smell of something cooking. He sniffed. Tomato sauce. He frowned. Had Mitch come home?
No. No way.
He sat up, heart suddenly racing. He’d fallen asleep with the kids. Both of Beth’s kids.
“Robin?”
The baby was gone too, and he panicked for a moment until he heard voices coming from the kitchen, one of them definitely adult.
He stumbled into the kitchen, blinking. “Robin?”
“Daddy Jeff! The man’s making pizza!”
The man? He looked over, smiled at the young man behind the stove. Shit, what was the guy’s name? What was he doing? Sleeping while this stranger was with his children?
The guy turned his attention to Robin first. “It’s Donny, remember?” When Robin nodded, Donny turned to Jeff and gave him a smile. “You looked like you needed the rest, so I thought I’d start supper.”
“I…. Thank you. God, I’m sorry, man.” He headed for the coffee machine, started pressing buttons. “Have you been good, Robbie?”
His son—his son, Jesus Christ—nodded. “Uh-huh.”
“He’s been great. And no apologies necessary—my nefarious plan is working. I’m proving just how indispensable I am. You’ll have to hire me now.”
Kimberley gurgled from the car seat on the floor in the corner as if agreeing.
“Let me call your references, and the job is yours.” He needed help, and Donny was here and needed a job.
“Go ahead and call them now—I’ve got supper under control.” Donny’s cheeks went slightly red. “Not that I’m trying to tell you what to do, but I’d really like this job, and you seem like you need me to have it too.”
“Did you find everything you needed?” Jeff knew his kitchen was better than well-stocked.
“Oh, yeah, it’s all very organized and well put together.” Donny nodded to a backpack on one of the chairs in the breakfast nook. “My reference sheet is in the backpack, front pouch.”
“Thanks.” He gave Robin a kiss on the way by and chuckled at Kimberley, who was kicking and cooing.
It didn’t take long to find the references, and he stepped into the den and called his sister, Jillian, first. “Jellybean? I think I found a nanny.”
“Truly? Oh, Jeff, thank God. I was beginning to think you weren’t going to. Tell me all about her.”
“His name’s Donny. He’s got a degree in early childhood. He has references.”
“His name? You’ve picked a boy to be your nanny?” She sounded skeptical.
“Yeah. Yeah, I have, unless you want the job.”
“God no. You know me and children don’t mix unless in very small doses.” He could picture her exaggerated shudder. She’d been a trooper the first ten days he’d had the kids, but she’d all but run out of there the second he’d said he thought he could handle things on his own. “So he’s got a degree, huh? And good references?”
He shuffled the papers. “Two professors, a day care center director, and Mickey over at Out-Reach.”
Jeff knew Mickey—the man had asked his boss to do fundraisers for them, and in the few years since then, Mickey and Jeff had become good friends.
“Those sound like good references. I hope he works out, Jeff.
