From the New York Times bestselling author behind the “joyful, warm, touching” (Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author) The Unhoneymooners comes a delightfully charming love story about what happens when two assistants tasked with keeping a rocky relationship from explosion begin to experience sparks of their own.

Carey Douglas has worked for home remodeling and style gurus Melissa and Rusty Tripp for nearly a decade. A country woman in mind, Carey started in their 1st store at about The Honey-Don’t List sixteen, and—a lot more than anyone would suspect—offers helped them build an empire. With a new display and a book about to start, the Tripps are on the verge of superstardom. There’s only one issue: America’s preferred couple can’t stand one another.

Wayne McCann, MIT graduate and anatomist genius, was originally employed as a structural engineer, but the work isn’t all he believed it’d be. The last straw? Both he and Carey must go on book tour with the Tripps and keep carefully the wheels from dropping off the proverbial bus.

Unfortunately, neither of these is in any position to quit. Carey needs medical health insurance, and James has been promised the role of a lifetime if he can just keep the couple on the right track for some more weeks. While road-tripping using the Tripps up the West Coastline, Carey and James vow to interact to maintain their bosses’ secrets hidden, and their very own jobs protected. But if they stop playing along—and start playing for maintains—they may have the chance to build something beautiful together…

Through the “hilariously zany and heartfelt” (Booklist) Christina Lauren comes a romantic comedy that proves if it’s broke, you may as well fix it.
