--

Their marriage of convenience should be been win-win, until feelings enter the mix and their situation becomes anything but convenient. . .

When Lainey discovers that she has inadvertently squatted her way into owning one of the most notorious houses in modern architectural history, she realises this is the chance to escape her hometown that she has been waiting for.

The problem is, the surrounding lakeside property has been willed to architect Elliot Hodges. Neither can rent or sell without reaching an agreement, so Elliot proposes an unconventional arrangement: marry him for health insurance and in exchange, she''ll allow him to rent the house until he can buy her out.

It''s a win-win situation. Or it would be, if Elliot wasn''t the enemy.

But living together shows Lainey a side of Elliot she never expected and, as the end date looms and their connection grows, Lainey''s not sure what''s more terrifying: leaving Elliot behind or letting him in.

Autorentext
Ellie Palmer is the author of Four Weekends and a Funeral and Anywhere With You, and is a prototypical Midwesterner who routinely apologizes to inanimate objects when she bumps into them. When she's not writing romantic comedies featuring delightfully messy characters, she's at home in Minnesota, eating breakfast food, watching too much reality television, and triple texting her husband about their son.
