A cozy, chaotic marriage-of-convenience romance where a crying baby and a desperate real estate deal pave the way for unexpected love.

What it feels like

This is a delightfully breezy and warm-hearted contemporary romance that wraps the reader in a cozy, domestic embrace. The pacing is brisk, driven by the immediate, chaotic stakes of a screaming baby and a ticking inheritance clock, but the emotional texture remains wonderfully low-angst and comforting. It feels like a sunny Sunday afternoon read, balancing lighthearted banter with the earnest vulnerability of two capable people suddenly out of their depth. The prose is accessible and dialogue-heavy, focusing on the developing chemistry and mutual reliance between the leads. It will thoroughly delight fans of the marriage-of-convenience trope who prefer their romantic arcs to be sweet, grounded, and centered around the messy, beautiful creation of a found family.
