Single dad? Muscles for days? Bedroom eyes? Yes please! Hi. My name is Layla, and I'm tired of the dating games, so I'm going to lay it out for you. I'm a strong, intelligent woman who wants to find her soulmate. I'm a teacher, a dog-mom, a friend, an orphan, and a great kisser (so I have been told). I want a best friend, a twin flame, someone who writes on his dating profile that he likes long walks on the beach but actually likes long walks on the beach. I want my future husband to be a man who will teach our kids to fish on Saturday and celebrate National Tea Day on Sunday. I know the man of my dreams exists--I just need to find him. Reader: If you like single dads, beach town reads, vulnerable romances, Under the Banyan Tree is the book for you.
