Cozy up for a heartfelt, humorous, sizzling slow-burn in this marriage of convenience romance about finding love-and home-in the most unlikely of places. Axel Rooney Sullivan is sunshine incarnate. Warm, bright, always smiling, she's everything I'm not and the last person I have any business desiring. Desperate to hide a hopeless attraction, I've done everything possible to keep my distance . . . until a charades game gone wrong brought that to a grinding halt. Since then, steering clear of Rooney has been impossible. In a matter of months, she's kissed me speechless, commandeered my art career, and infiltrated not only my dreams but my home. The woman who was once avoidable has become the last thing I needed: temptingly within reach. Rooney Axel Bergman is a gorgeous grump who doesn't have the time of day for me. Thankfully, I've kept my crush under wraps . . . well, until I kissed him. Charades got away from me, okay? It was an accident! I haven't seen him since, which is for the best. My life is a mess, and the last thing I need is to embarrass myself further with the man who avoids me like that's his job rather than painting modern masterpieces. It seems the universe, however, has a different plan. When Axel and I unexpectedly find our paths-and problems-converging, a marriage of convenience proves the perfect solution. At least, until I'm facing my most serious problem yet: a once-loveless marriage of convenience that's inconveniently become a love match, after all.

About the Author-
Chloe Liese is the author of Only When It's Us and the Amazon bestseller Always Only You. Portraying underrepresented experiences, her romances bring humor, heat, and heart.
Reviews-
November 15, 2021 Liese’s delightful fourth Bergman Brothers rom-com (after Always Only You) opens at the Bergman family’s Seattle vacation home, where family friend Rooney Sullivan has been invited to regroup after ulcerative colitis forces her to take a leave of absence from Stanford law school. She doesn’t expect the eldest Bergman brother, the quiet, grumpy, and autistic Axel, to be staying there as well. He’s hard at work trying to fix massive damage from a burst pipe without telling his family. It’s a hefty bill, but he can’t bear losing their cherished getaway. To come up with the money fast, Axel hopes to claim his inheritance from his uncle—but to do so he must get married. When Rooney finds out, she offers to marry him for a year, reasoning that “she’s not a romantic.” They agree it’s nothing but a business arrangement—except both of them have harbored secret crushes on the other for years. Now neither can speak up without ruining everything. With this sweet, perfectly twisty romance, Liese delivers all the feels and steam fans expect while making space for the unsexy realities of chronic illness and showcasing neurodivergent communication styles. The result is emotionally intelligent and also scrupulously careful with consent. Readers with chronic illness will feel especially seen and appreciated, but any romance fan will enjoy this adorable romp.
