Turning thirty wasn’t supposed to feel like standing on the edge of a cliff.
But Jillian Whitman swan-dives right over it—into spray tans, Brazilian waxes, a ‘small tattoo’ that becomes a mural, and enough self-help advice to overwhelm a high priestess of positivity.
Her guide through the chaos?
A dog-eared copy of How to Catch the Man of Your Dreams.
It promises confidence. Glamour. Romantic success.
It does not promise waking up half-naked in the bed of Conner Kensington—broodingly gorgeous chef, reluctant bar owner, and walking temptation with a smirk sharp enough to slice her dignity in half.
Jillian is determined to follow the book’s rules.
Conner is determined to ignore every single one of them.
When he discovers her '''how-to’ manual, he offers to help her navigate dating—real, messy, kiss-me-again-even-though-I-shouldn’t dating. Jillian wants to say no, but the man is both annoyingly persuasive and unfairly hot. And worse… he makes her feel braver than the book ever has.
Between family chaos, misplaced kittens, accidental flirting, and Conner’s maddening habit of showing up when her life is mid-nosedive, Jillian starts to wonder:
Maybe the man of her dreams isn’t the one she’s chasing…
but the one who keeps teaching her how to fall.
Genre: Romance
