The Parent App Complete Series: Books 1-6
(2026)(A book in the Parent App series)
An omnibus of novels by Tess Thompson
Five single mothers have no idea their dating profiles just went live.
In the Northern California beach town of Willet Cove, five friends have spent years helping one another raise their children, survive heartbreak, and build lives they’re proud of. Between their businesses and their families, they have plenty of reasons not to date.
Their teenagers don’t find any of those reasons convincing.
Armed with a homemade matchmaking program and a dating app called Second Chance, five determined kids start searching for the men their mothers won’t look for themselves. Getting their moms to cooperate will take a little creativity.
A dance teacher’s first match is the man she never stopped loving. A designer’s promising date becomes the first client on her new television show. A florist’s best friend already adores her children, but he’s keeping a secret that puts all of it at risk. A romance novelist has no idea the man teaching her son guitar wrote her favorite song. And a guarded widow would like everyone to stop recommending the bookstore owner. Especially now that she’s started looking forward to seeing him.
But these women have good reasons to be careful. There are children still grieving, painful truths left unspoken, and pasts that refuse to stay politely out of the way. Falling in love no longer affects only two people.
The kids thought finding the right men would be the hard part. They never imagined how much a new love could change the family they already have.
