'Sweet and achingly romantic - a truly wonderful love story' Beth O'Leary, author of The Flatshare 'Full of fierce humour and fiercer heart' Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue __________________ A brilliant and touching romantic comedy from the USA Today bestselling author of The Friend Zone and The Happy Ever After Playlist. When Vanessa Price quit her job to pursue her dream of traveling the globe, she wasn't expecting to gain millions of YouTube followers who shared her joy of seizing every moment. For her, living each day to its fullest isn't just a motto. Her mother and sister never saw the age of 30, and Vanessa doesn't want to take anything for granted. But after her half-sister suddenly leaves Vanessa in custody of her baby daughter, life goes from 'daily adventure' to 'hourly nappy change'. The last person Vanessa expects to show up offering help is the hot lawyer next door, Adrian Copeland. After all, she barely knows him. No one warned her that he was the Secret Baby Tamer or that she'd be spending a whole lot of time with him and his geriatric Chihuahua. Now she's feeling things she's vowed not to feel. Because the only thing worse than falling for Adrian is finding a little hope for a future she may never see. _______________________ FIND OUT WHY READERS ARE FALLING IN LOVE WITH ABBY JIMENEZ . . .

Contemporary romantic comedy novels frequently combine witty banter, emotional depth, and realistic personal struggles, a narrative style exemplified in bestselling books such as Part of Your World and Just for the Summer. Abby Jimenez is a No. 1 New York Times bestselling American romance novelist and Food Network champion who brings a distinct blend of humor and empathy to contemporary fiction. Residing in Minnesota, she has sold over 1.5 million books while enjoying coffee, doglets, romance stories, and spending time at home.
Before establishing her literary career, Jimenez built a successful business in baking. After being laid off from a retail position, she founded Nadia Cakes out of her home kitchen in 2007 using original cake recipes and basic decorating training. Her home business expanded into retail bakeries across California and Minnesota, including locations in Maple Grove, Woodbury, and Palmdale. The bakery gained national prominence after winning Food Network's Cupcake Wars in 2013 and appearing on TLC's Fabulous Cakes, building an international fanbase. Jimenez later turned to writing romance novels, drawing ongoing creative inspiration for her male protagonists from her husband and business partner.
Jimenez's writing is characterized by authentic dialogue, emotional vulnerability, and humorous character interaction balanced against meaningful real-world challenges. Setting several of her narratives in Minnesota locations like Lake Minnetonka, Ely, and the Root River, she grounds her romance series in vivid regional settings. Her stories showcase compassionate heroes and resilient lead characters navigating family dynamics, grief, and career transitions while building strong emotional connections.
