Single Dad in Studio 7D Maryann Clarke

Researcher Lucy Clough temporarily moves into a friend's studio to work on an important legacy project. Time is short and Lucy can't afford distractions. Until she meets the sad, sweet and sexy single dad in Studio 7D.

How do you pay debts to the dead?

Meet new neighbours JP and Lucy. They're both deeply committed to keeping promises to the loved ones they've lost, even though the hard work and isolation make them feel more dead than alive.


Jean Phillipe Roche is a graphic and web designer, and widower with two small children, who devotes himself to being the best father at the expense of self-care, self-respect and definitely to the exclusion of new love, even the captivating new girl next door.


Perfectionist Lucy Clough is a psychology researcher who wants only to publish her adored late grandfather's memoirs in order to preserve his legacy, and perhaps to assuage her guilt. He's the only man who's ever been good enough for her, or saw her as a star. Time is short and Lucy can't afford distractions. Until she meets the sad, sweet and sexy single dad in Studio 7D.


But is sacrificing your own life to appease guilt the best way to honour their memory?
