Life just has a funny way of getting in the way...for the last fifteen years or so. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTake prom. Buzz was my date, and I was planning on telling him that night. One week before, my mom and his dad drop a bombshell-they've been having an affair. The aftermath destroyed two families. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI moved away to Boston and pursued my medical career. Buzz stayed in Clovelly and became a firefighter. He started dating. We stayed best friends. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, thirteen years later, I'm back in town after Grandpa Arnie dies. He leaves me his inn in his will. On two conditions. One, I get married, and two, I stay in town for at least six months. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBuzz loves that inn as much as I do, so he offers himself as tribute. Now that we're married and living together, nothing is going to get in the way of me telling him how I feel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNot his annoying new himbo-rific friend. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNot even my lifelong habit of avoiding talking about my feelings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNothing\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut then my mother drops another bombshell-and it makes what happened before prom look like a warm-up act. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBuzz\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe last guy I dated dumped me because he said he wanted a boyfriend, not an emotional support animal. All my relationships have ended the same way-guys leave because I'm too needy, too clingy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe sad truth is, they're all right. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe only person who accepts me for who I am in all my needy glory is Court. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHaving him back in Clovelly is great. And marrying him has come with some unexpected benefits...of the bedroom variety. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut just because we're releasing a little steam doesn't change the fact that I want to settle down and have kids, and Court has a career waiting for him in Boston. Even though this fake marriage feels better than any relationship I've been in, the reason it works is because it has an inbuilt end date. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOnce six months are up, he'll inherit his grandfather's inn and leave like he always does. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy would this time be any different?... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTropes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriends to lovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFake marriage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoctor x firefighter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusbands with benefits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Gilmore Girls\" meets \"Sullivan's Crossing\" vibes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmotional support bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFound family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo third-act breakup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Casey Cox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798267191753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Casey Cox","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49148406104319,"sku":"9798267191753","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/feels-like-home-casey-cox-9798267191753","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
