24 year old Chloe gets a call - her birth mother has just unexpectedly had another child and she can’t care for her.. can Chloe? Willing to do anything for her new baby sibling Chloe says yes. In an effort to help out kinship carers CPS have started a program called Team Up. In order to get custody of her baby sibling, Chloe needs to show a consistent income, and another kinship cater Warren needs stable accommodation for his brother Luke. So the two are teamed up to begin navigating their kinship care placements. But things begin to shift over time…

Be still my beating romance heart! A very unusual meet cute with sweet intentions of looking at kinship care as a romance this book ticks all the usual romance boxes with a social justice themed twist! If you’re looking for something different… this could be just what you’re looking for!
