A no-drama tax lawyer lands her perfect fresh start—until she’s forced to work with the ex–best friend she buried feelings for, risking both her career and their long-overdue second chance. A hilarious romantic comedy perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Katherine Center.

Louisa Kalluk had a plan: start fresh in D.C., become a powerhouse tax attorney, and avoid unnecessary drama. Never in a million years did she expect that plan to be derailed by the charming idiot from law school she severed ties with three years ago.

Jackson Wyatt is equal parts smug, distractingly handsome, and a delightful pain-in-the-ass. What begins as a harmless bet between “old friends” slowly turns into lingering stares, inside jokes, and the kind of chemistry that should require a permit.

But between their complicated history, career-threatening scandals, overenthusiastic roommates with questionable crystal collections, and one very ill-timed grand gesture, Louisa and Jackson find themselves facing the ultimate question:

Can you build a future on a love that refuses to follow the rules?

Sharp, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud funny, this swoony rom-com proves that sometimes life doesn’t stick to the plan.

And thank God for that.

Because the best things are the ones you never saw coming.
