About the book

Eve Brown is a chaotic protagonist who constantly switches career paths, leading her parents to demand she find stable employment. Her search brings her to a sky-blue bed and breakfast owned by Jacob Wayne, a rigid, high-functioning autistic man who prides himself on order. After Eve accidentally hits Jacob with her car and breaks his arm, she steps in as his temporary chef. The narrative focuses on how these two neurodivergent characters negotiate their sensory needs and social boundaries while managing the hospitality business together in a small town.

Readers who enjoy contemporary romance with neurodivergent representation will find a story centered on communication and self-acceptance. It appeals to those looking for a workplace comedy where characters navigate autism and ADHD without treating these traits as problems to be cured. The reader walks away with a perspective on how contrasting personality types can create a functional partnership by respecting each other's specific cognitive styles and physical boundaries.
