Five orphaned boys need a home. Is a marriage of convenience the only way to save them?

Anthony Johnson knows what it feels like to be unwanted.

After losing his mother and landing in a boys’ home, he recognizes the fear behind the defiance of four younger boys everyone else has labeled troublemakers, bad boys, and lost causes.

Hannah Bennett has dreams of her own, but when Anthony asks for her help with an impossible plan, walking away isn’t easy.

A marriage of convenience may be the only way to give five orphaned boys a real home and protect them from the danger closing in.

But what will it cost her?

What begins as a practical arrangement slowly becomes something deeper—family, belonging, and a love that teaches them all they are worthy of being chosen.

Finding Love Unexpectedly is a clean found family romance with a marriage-of-convenience love story, a protective hero, a strong heroine, slow-burn romance, and emotional healing.

Award-winning and Amazon bestselling author Deanna Lilly writes clean, emotional romance for readers who believe love can heal, hope is never lost, and happily ever after is always worth the wait.

Content Note: This story includes themes of parental loss, abandonment, childhood trauma, foster/orphanage care, and growing up without a safe family. There are no graphic details, but sensitive readers are encouraged to take care.
