A warm and lively romance where unexpected domestic chaos and a charming rogue challenge a woman's carefully laid plans for a safe, predictable life.
What it feels like
Reading this romance feels like stepping into a whirlwind of unexpected domestic chaos and simmering romantic tension. The narrative moves at a brisk, lively pace, driven by the friction between a pragmatic protagonist who craves dependability and a charming rogue who thrives on spontaneity. The mood is warm and playful, anchored by the comedic, exhausting reality of caring for young children while trying to resist a magnetic attraction. The prose is accessible and lighthearted, perfectly capturing the push-and-pull of duty versus desire. It is a story about the realization that love isn't always safe or predictable, but rather messy and undeniable. This book will delight readers who adore forced-proximity romances, opposites-attract dynamics, and the heartwarming chaos of a makeshift family.

About the book
Faith Bridges should be wedding dress shopping with her bridesmaids, finalising the menu for the reception, house hunting. Instead she's up close and personal with Harry March - the last man on earth she’d trust with her heart - a fractious baby and a four year old diva.
She and Julian may not have had the most conventional of courtships but he’s wise, responsible and utterly dependable. The exact opposite of Harry, who thinks that all he has to do to get her to stay and take care of his sister's children is to tease her, charm her and, when that doesn’t work, make love to her.
It won't work; Faith knows that love is like meringue — all sugar and air, and about as substantial. And she has made a promise that she isn’t about to break. So why does she find it so hard to walk away?
