Next of Kin: A Foster Guardian's Romance

Written by Hannah Bonam-Young

Narrated by Penelope Ann Rose

When people-pleasing Chloe learns that her birth mother has unexpectedly had another baby, she doesn't hesitate to become a next-of-kin guardian. 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' new initiative, TeamUp.

Enter Warren, a surly mechanic's apprentice attempting to get custody of his deaf fifteen-year-old brother after failing CPS' housing evaluation. The two strangers immediately clash but agree to live together until Warren can find housing elsewhere and Chloe can further grow her freelance career.

As their lives intertwine, Chloe and Warren both realize that they're far more similar than they 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 they must each decide if what burns between them is worth risking their arrangement.

With banter, heart, and steam that will have the listener blushing, Next of Kin is a true underdog story of two young adults redefining what family can look like.

Reviews for Next of Kin

[Jacquline Oliphant · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Okay, but why is she becoming one of my absolute favourite cozy romance writers.

I absolutely adore Chloe she doesn't know how strong and amazing she is, I absolutely adored how funny and witty Warren got when he was around her. She made him feel secure in her love.

That's everything.

"To know you is to love you."

Found family turned soulmates

I feel like the I love you's came a little too fast, but this man would have had me folding on day one, so I'm not too mad about it!
