A tale of unexpected family, slow seduction, and the sweet collision of brains, brawn, and bruised hearts
Arlen James, a brooding, retired football star, thought life would be quieter after sudden single parenthood landed on his doorstep. Now juggling two clever, chaos-prone nieces, Amelia and Margret, an ever-shedding Irish Wolfhound, and being new in town, Arlen keeps his world tightly controlled, especially his heart.
Enter Elizabeth McGowan: a brilliant, accident-prone young teacher whose quirky charm and sunbeam smile threatens to illuminate even Arlen's darkest days. Elizabeth's relentless optimism and offbeat humor wage daily battle with Arlen's legendary grumpiness. She's book-smart, a little awkward, and hiding a secret crush on the very alpha, very unattainable ex-athlete.
When Margret and Amelia start school where she teaches, Elizabeth and Arlen's worlds collide. Between hallway run-ins, sideline banter, and the chaos of sudden parenthood, sparks fly in humorous, heartfelt ways. Arlen can't deny the pull of the sunshiney genius who keeps tripping over her own feet and right into his life. Elizabeth never expected her hero to be the gruff newcomer, or that the slow burn of friendship could lead to something more.
With nosy townsfolk, meddling pets, and more than one accidental mishap, this closed-door romantic comedy proves that sometimes, the happily ever after you've been searching for is right under your nose.
Finding Home is a tale of unexpected family, slow seduction, and the sweet collision of brains, brawn, and bruised hearts—perfect for fans of small towns, sports romance, and grumpy-sunshine magic.
