About this book

When a struggling single mom desperate to afford her son's medication meets a kind-hearted nurse facing deportation, they hatch a plan that seems foolproof: a marriage of convenience that benefits them both. But as Addison and Nova start building a life together—and Nova becomes an unexpected father figure to Addison's sweet boy—their carefully constructed boundaries begin to crumble. What was supposed to be a purely practical arrangement transforms into something neither of them saw coming, forcing them to navigate the terrifying question of whether their feelings are real or just a product of playing house. This is a tender, heartwarming story about found family and discovering that sometimes the best love stories are the ones you never planned for.

Spotify

Indie pop and soft R&B that captures unexpected intimacy—gentle builds into warmth, acoustic vulnerability meeting sensual undertones. Think Phoebe Bridgers meets SZA: tender, real, slowly igniting. Contemporary love that sneaks up on you.
