Love is the last thing she's looking for, but he's going to help her find it anyway.

When artist Fiona is called home to help her beloved Aunt Delia recover from surgery, the timing couldn't be worse. To save her sinking career, Fiona booked a gallery show that's just weeks away-but hasn't finished a single painting.Even worse, she's horrified to learn that her temporary neighbor is the wildly successful sculptor Alex Fox.

Alex was her first real love-but then ditched her for reasons she still doesn't understand. Now eight years later, she still wants to hate him-but Mr. Criminally Hot and Broody has become the town teddy bear: helping Delia with chores, fundraising for the library, and now offering Fiona a job that's a lifeline.

Working together lights a fire in Fiona that she thought she'd lost forever-but to chart a new path forward, she'll have to trust what Alex has been trying to show her all summer: all the wonder she seeks can only be found with an open heart...one that might finally be ready for a second chance at love.

Filled with wit, warmth, and unforgettable small-town fun, this dual POV closed-door romance is the perfect blend of humor and heart.

"Irresistibly relatable characters, a charming small town setting, and downright delicious-The Almost Lovebirds has everything I want in a novel, which is why I tore through it in less than 24 hours. I'll read anything Lucy Day writes." -Camille Pagán, bestselling author of Good for You
