Publisher's Synopsis
She's a walking disaster. He's a human spreadsheet. Together, they're chaos theory with chemistry.
Sophie Kwon, a Korean American hot mess with maxed-out credit cards, collides with Miles Carter, a biracial Korean American coder who thinks love comes with a manual.
Sophie Kwon lives loud and loves hard, even if it means maxed-out credit cards and a trail of broken stilettos. When her latest financial fiasco lands her at a couples' retreat (solo, obviously), she's stuck sharing a room with Miles Carter a buttoned-up coder who thinks emotions need a damn user manual.
Forced to renovate a crumbling inn while faking a relationship, their clash is epic:
Sparks fly (along with insults and a very unfortunate knife incident).
Late-night confessions reveal Sophie's Mountain of debt and her fear of being unlovable.
Miles' icy exterior melts, exposing a past that taught him trust is a glitch.
As storms rage and bonfires burn, they'll have to decide: Can two broken souls mend each other, or will their cracks tear them apart for good?
Perfect for fans of:
The Hating Game's banter-filled enemies-to-lovers vibe
Beach Read's emotional depth and wit
Forced proximity and fake dating tropes with steamy slow burns
Read if you love
Heroines who are hot messes with hearts of gold
Heroes who unclench (metaphorically... and literally)
Renovation projects as metaphors for love
Knife incidents (trust us, it's worth it)
A romance where flaws are features, not bugs and love is the ultimate debug.
