Fathers at Nine O'Clock, a billionaire romance concept package. The graphic shows 3 novel covers and the free lead magnet, His Turn With the Orange Slices.

The concept

At a London weekend club, parents set out breakfast and stay to play with their children. Three fathers who can send someone else to do almost everything discover how little that helps with burnt pancakes, a shy child or the adult they hope will be looking for them next week. Most of the people making the tea have never been on the society pages. Three of the fathers have.

Joel can name every place his daughter likes pancakes. He has never seen her flip one. Miriam saw the very first flip and knows how long the little girl has been saving a second apron for him. The free companion novella is His Turn With the Orange Slices.

The worldThe club is run by parents. Children choose their own playmates. The adults a father falls for have lives outside the club and the right to turn him down.
Series tropesBillionaire/CEO • Single Parent • Slow Burn
Intended readershipFor readers of adult billionaire romance who enjoy competent parents with one place in life where influence gets them nowhere.
Tone & contentAffectionate adult open-door romance. Responsible coparenting, privacy for the children and committed couple endings.

Free novella

His Turn With the Orange Slices

Iain turns up with six perfect platters. Judith hands him a chopping board and two sticky children. The fruit was only ever an excuse to have their dad standing beside them at nine.

Story outline
Story arc and endingJudith likes him better with juice on his shirt. He mistakes her interest for gratitude when he offers to take the entire breakfast off her hands. She invites him to come early and help instead. He does, including on the Saturday she is away. They start dating on evenings when the twins are with their mother. Their shared breakfast table gains paint stains and a permanent fourth chair.
Emotional payoffJudith makes her interest clear. Iain stops sending gifts ahead to speak for him.
Story focusStrangers to Lovers • Opposites Attract

The Man Who Missed Pancakes

Joel can name every place his daughter likes pancakes. He has never seen her flip one. Miriam saw the very first flip and knows how long the little girl has been saving a second apron for him.

Story outline
Story arc and endingJoel asks Miriam to teach him the exact routine and goes rigid when his daughter changes it. Miriam recognises grief in his need to reproduce his late wife’s breakfast. They cook something new, burn the first batch and laugh. When a reporter offers a flattering fatherhood profile, Joel keeps breakfast private. Miriam accepts a date that belongs to the adults. A year later both families make an untidy stack together.
Emotional payoffJoel lets a good new morning coexist with the ones he misses. Miriam steps out of the helpful-friend role and names what she wants.
Story focusGrief to Hope • Friends to Lovers

Book 2 of three

Your Girl Saved Me a Seat

Greg would willingly meet a stadium full of strangers before walking into his daughter’s recital late. Amy’s child saves him a chair anyway. Being expected by someone who knows all his excuses is an uncomfortable sort of pleasure.

Story outline
Story arc and endingGreg starts arriving early to listen to Amy tune. A recording of him freezes him at the next recital, and he slips out, hurting his daughter. He asks his family to put away their phones and returns to sit through the next rehearsal, however badly it goes. Amy asks him to come hear her own performance. Their relationship lasts past the final recital, with a piano in the home they share.
Emotional payoffGreg practises being present through embarrassment. Amy lets him see the performer beneath the person who fixes the instrument.
Story focusIntrovert Plus Extrovert • Hero Falls First
Length55,000 words planned
Book 3 of three

Bring Your Own Umbrella

Arthur’s enormous car keeps blocking the wet footpath. Leonie recommends an umbrella. The following Saturday he turns up with one so big that walking her home takes both of them into three hedges.

Story outline
Story arc and endingLeonie has no interest in becoming the competent adult in another man’s house. Arthur learns his child’s weekend routine himself and asks for a date that has nothing to do with parenting. In a storm he accepts Leonie’s smaller umbrella and follows her favourite route entirely on foot. He and his ex agree school arrangements without involving her. He and Leonie spend a year making ordinary walks into a shared life.
Emotional payoffLeonie can want company and keep her boundaries. Arthur learns to offer his time in person.
Story focusRebuilding Life After Divorce • Flirtatious Teasing Banter
