About this book
Chloe is a dedicated people-pleaser who never hesitates to step up, so when she discovers her birth mother has unexpectedly had another baby, she immediately fights for custody. However, when she fails the financial requirements set by Child Protective Services, she is forced into an unconventional solution: a co-living initiative designed to help prospective guardians prove they can provide a stable home. Her partner in this arrangement is Warren, a surly, guarded mechanic’s apprentice who is struggling to secure custody of his deaf fifteen-year-old brother. From their very first meeting, the two clash—Warren’s abrasive energy is the complete opposite of Chloe’s carefully curated life. Despite their immediate friction, they agree to move in together to ensure their siblings have a safe, permanent future. As they navigate the chaotic realities of newborn care and teenage life, the "enemies to lovers" tension between them begins to shift. Chloe discovers a softer, vulnerable side to Warren that she never expected, and their forced proximity reveals that they are far more alike than they initially realized. As their mutual attraction intensifies, Chloe and Warren must decide if the chemistry building between them is worth jeopardizing the delicate stability they have worked so hard to build.

Image 149: “Funny and huge-hearted,” says Talia Hibbert Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars I NEVER read books I'm a huge Gilmore Girls fan and the dedication page was posted in one of the Facebook groups I'm in, for absolutely no other reason other than supporting another teamjess girl, I ordered this book. I wasn't even sure if I'd read it (because i literally never read books)but when it arrived I decided read a few pages, I started around bed time and before I knew it I was six chapter's in and sad to put it down so I could sleep. Today I woke up and couldn't put it down til I was done. There was definitely some parts that resonated with me, my youngest child was born with heart defect and had open heart surgery at 8 months old, and stents 6 weeks later because his arteries were so severely undersized (Tetralogy of Fallot) so I know how weekly cardiologist appointments can be. My husband had a rough upbringing and was in the system and lived at a boys ranch, this made me give more thought to his trauma(that he has yet to come to terms with that he has) and reminded me to give him more grace.

But when she fails to pass Child Protective Services’ financial evaluation, she is faced with a choice: see her baby sister placed in foster care or participate in CPS’s new initiative, where two prospective guardians join households to qualify. Enter Warren, a surly mechanic’s apprentice attempting to get custody of his deaf fifteen-year-old brother. From the moment Warren drives up thirty minutes late, blasting music out of his car, Chloe is convinced that this is a very bad idea. The two immediately clash but eventually agree to live together for the sake of their younger siblings. As their lives intertwine, and Chloe adjusts to caring for her newborn sister, she begins to see a new, softer side of Warren. In fact, they’re far more similar than she could have imagined. What started as forced begins to feel natural—and far less lonely. Chemistry soon intensifies beyond what either of them can stand, but is their mutual attraction worth risking everything they’ve fought for? ) Report an issue with this product or seller](https://www.amazon.com/Next-Kin-Novel-Hannah-Bonam-Young/dp/059387210X/ref=sr1259?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ICZ1qoPBXIJdGj-3NS1WTV7m5uvoXC9TH2hvKVpG5tWTYaJlzsLxKW4meiKzrFbPT0e34duT0Dfz8qTnm2O4-OuOu5u5B6XhyxkNK8Tl09Gm66gvbI0SZvgQfRyRso6IWbYeEHdYDmZdLjEtlpWHRgWEFmMnJ8Io6SsElwXaRqTM6TSpqMfGNDzeARfgyh5yeHtwRLwQZRGHDqQ5VkIvgf8QcqcSp7F9W80vdo.RIg2c7jvCg4j0DEstQUnQqHfP0q3g2gDVVE8IqyZHCU&dibtag=se&qid=1780245813&s=books&xpid=BtZXy3REumMg) Previous slide of product details 1.
