Mateo

When I took the dojo over from my old sensei, I thought it would be easy. Teach kids karate and keep the family atmosphere. I didn't realize how much running a business cost.

But when the dojo is struggling, the handsome father of one of my students steps in. It means long nights alone, figuring out how to save my business.

Just so long as it doesn't mean him realizing I have a crush.

Jake

Being a single dad with a full-time job has been interesting. Whether it's letting my daughter paint my nails, hosting tea parties, or watching her obsess over her karate class, there's always some adventure.

When I learned that her dojo was in trouble, I couldn't stop myself from volunteering to help. Anything to keep Emerson happy.

And if it means stolen moments with her sensei, Mateo Delgado, along the way? Well, not all of my motivations can be entirely selfless.

“A Kickin' Karate Christmas” is a standalone novella as part of the multi-author collaboration “Single Dads All The Way”. Expect a slight age gap, a cute seven-year-old, and festive fun dojo shenanigans as Mateo and Jake find their happily ever after.
