Single Dad in Studio 7D

Lucy Clough has three weeks to finish the project that will save her grandfather's legacy - and no time to notice the gorgeous, sleep-deprived single dad on the other side of her studio wall. Except she's definitely noticed. Jean-Philippe Roche just wants to identify the mysterious 7:30 a.m. squeak coming from next door, keep his two kids fed, and make it through another year without his wife. He was not expecting to open his door and find Lucy - laughing at him in his pyjamas, apologizing for the noise, and somehow making his loud, chaotic, exhausting life feel a little less lonely.
Between yoga classes, cartoon reruns, grilled cheese sandwiches, and a deadline she can't miss, Lucy wasn't planning to fall for anyone - especially not a widower with a toddler who's already decided she's "pitty, " and a life that's already full. But sometimes the family you didn't know you needed moves in right next door. If this tone feels right, I'll take it into French next - and we can decide separately whether the German gets patched or rebuilt to match.
