Getting My Ducks in a Row: When Healing Meets Unexpected Romance

She thought she needed order. What she found was love.

After years of chasing stability, Claire has finally decided it’s time to get her ducks in a row. New apartment, steady job, and a checklist for the future—no surprises, no distractions. Healing from a past that left her broken, she’s determined to prove she can stand on her own two feet.

Then he shows up.

Evan is everything she didn’t plan for—messy, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. He’s the kind of man who laughs at lists and thrives in chaos, yet somehow he sees her in ways no one else ever has.

As Claire learns to balance the life she’s building with the love she never expected, she discovers that healing isn’t about perfection. It’s about letting someone in, even when the rows aren’t neat and the ducks don’t behave.

Getting My Ducks in a Row is a heartfelt, slow-burn romance about second chances, vulnerability, and the beauty of finding love when life is still a work in progress.

Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Colleen Hoover, and Katherine Center—this is a story about love that arrives exactly when you’re learning to love yourself.
