When people pleasing Chloe learns that her birth mother has unexpectedly had another baby, she doesn't hesitate to become a next-of-kin guardian. But, when she fails to pass Child Protective Services' financial evaluation, she is faced with a choice: see her baby sister placed in foster care, or participate in CPS' new initiative, TeamUp. Enter Warren, a surly mechanic's apprentice attempting to get custody of his deaf fifteen year old brother after failing CPS' housing evaluation. The two stranger's immediately clash but agree to live together until Warren can find housing elsewhere and Chloe can further grow her freelance career. As their lives further intertwine, Chloe and Warren both realise that they're far more similar than they could have imagined. What started as forced, begins to feel natural, and far less lonely. Chemistry soon intensifies beyond what either of them can stand, but they must each decide if what burns between them is worth risking their arrangement.

I went into this book with some hesitation. But after a push from a coworker, I‘m so glad that I read it! I loved it so much! I enjoy the grumpy/sunshine relationship along with the forced proximity. The dynamics and backgrounds of the characters were interesting, and I like how the author had beta readers for sensitivity and accuracy. I‘m looking forward to reading the next book in the series! #romance

I really enjoyed the CPS pieces, reminded me why I worked in that field for as long as I did. There was a lot of cheesiness and a little spice. Chloe went through so much as a child, it‘s amazing how strong, resilient, and wise she really is as an adult. Book #75 in 2024

This was a soft pick for me. I absolutely loved the premise of two people in the process of trying to gain custody of their younger siblings being paired together as roommates to help meet the income requirements for CPA. The characters and their backstories were great, but the chemistry felt a bit forced and slow at times. Great story, great representation, and I still love this author, I just wasn't as obsessed as I was with her last book.
