She’s got a recipe for romance. He’s throwing that cookbook out!
Middle-school teacher Amy Larkin has a foolproof plan: find Mr. Right using a step-by-step marriage guide. Forget pulses racing and butterflies fluttering. No swiping right or scrolling profiles either. She’s meeting men the old-fashioned way to evaluate them using her detailed list. She wants compatibility, shared values, and someone who dreams of the family she’s always longed for.
There’s just one problem: Jake Weston.
Contractor, workaholic, and the infuriatingly attractive grandson of Amy’s beloved neighbor, Jake has been a fixture in her life for ten years. Part family friend…
All trouble.
When Amy moves into his beach house for the summer and enlists his help finding husband candidates, Jake thinks she’s lost her mind. But watching her date other men while treating him like a pseudo-brother? That churns something dangerously like jealousy in his gut.
Time to launch a counterplan. Using her book against her, Jake is determined to prove—no matter what it takes—that he’s the only man who measures up to Amy’s specifications.
Between disastrous blind dates, inedible octopus dinners, and moonlit confessions on the beach, Amy discovers her foolproof recipe might be missing the most essential ingredient. Can she risk everything on a man who’s never wanted marriage—or is she cooking up heartbreak?
A heartwarming romcom about perfect plans, imperfect people, and finding love when you stop measuring.
