Firefighter Marshall Knight wasn’t expecting to become a father but here he is kicking butt and taking names, until a trip to the ER lands him in the path of Kaitlynn Bennett, the sweet nurse, who’s made their visit more bearable. Their relationship shouldn’t grow into more, but when fire strikes, they have to decide if their love is worth the risk. Readers will devour this off-limits romance featuring one sexy unsuspecting dad. Fall in love with your next book boyfriend with Then I Saw You by Kate Stacy, the next book in the Single Dad’s Romance series.
Firefighter Marshall Knight is more than happy living the single life and working toward his next promotion with the fire department until his world is flipped upside down when he finds out that he has a child. Abandoned by his own mother as a small boy, he’s determined to do the right thing and take care of his son, stepping right into the role of a single father and leaving no time for things like a relationship and romance.
One trip to the ER with his baby boy changes all that and he finds himself instantly enamored with Kaitlynn – the compassionate nurse who’s been assigned to them.
Kaitlynn Bennett made herself a vow a long time ago to never date a firefighter. Between her father’s job as Fire Captain and losing her own mother in a fire when she was twelve, she knows all too well the heartache that comes along with all of it.
Which is exactly why she had no clue that the sexy single dad in the ER was actually a firefighter. Their attraction is undeniable and with a little nudge from a friend the two find themselves in an inferno of their own. That is, until Kaitlynn discovers he’s a firefighter and Marshall realizes that Kaitlynn is his Captain’s daughter. It’s the perfect excuse for both of them to give in to their own insecurities and put plenty of distance in their already complex relationship.
But when a fire strikes and they both end up in harm’s way, will they finally realize that building a life together is far better than a lifetime apart?

Quick Bio
Marshall was born on April 20th in Blackwood, NC. His father died in the line of duty when he was a child, and he was raised by his mother until she abandoned him when he was a teen. He lived with relatives until he legally became an adult, at which point he moved out and followed in his father’s heroic footsteps, becoming a volunteer firefighter while attending the fire academy. Currently, he’s a full-time firefighter with the Blackwood Fire Department.
What advice would you give to other single fathers?
Being a father is probably the most terrifying thing you’ll ever face in life, but it’s worth it. You might question every decision you make when it comes to raising your children, you might think you’re going to screw it all up, but those worries are more common than you think. And honestly, you don’t need to stress about it. You’re going to screw up, you’re going to make mistakes, but it happens to all of us. No father is perfect, and no one is expecting you to be.
What’s the hardest part of parenting on your own?
The lack of constant emotional support you would normally have with a partner. Sure, taking care of a child isn’t easy, but it’s so much more difficult when you don’t have someone to share the mental and emotional struggles with. Parenting can take a toll on one’s mental health, especially when you’re thrust into it suddenly like I was. It’d be nice to have a partner who understands and can offer support.
What’s a skill every single dad should/what tool should he have in his arsenal?
It’s not necessarily a skill or tool, but every single dad should know when to ask for help. You can’t do it all on your own, and you shouldn’t have to. No one expects you to. No one will think any less of you for asking for help once in a while.
What’s your favorite thing to do with you kid(s)?
Snuggle. AJ is still a baby, so he doesn’t do much yet. I’m sure we’ll find a ton of things we enjoy doing together as he grows, but for now… we’re all about that snuggle-life. I love holding my son, knowing he’s safe and happy in my arms.
If you could teach you child(ren) one thing what would it be?
I want to teach my son the importance of family, and how strong those bonds can be. My family, for the most part, has been one big let down after another, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Derrick and I are cousins, but he’s more like a brother to me because of the love, respect, and loyalty we have for each other. I want my son to have that, too.
Anything else we should know?
I never really wanted to be a father, but now that I have AJ… I can’t imagine my life without him. I became a dad unexpectedly, but I’m a better man because of it.
