Full Blurb:

Leila MacDougal just learned her best friend is about to get engaged. Normally that kind of thing doesn't induce panic, especially not in a successful lawyer, but Leila has been unlucky at love. Some might say cursed. Her last three boyfriends all came out as gay-and that kind of thing can mess with a girl's head. Desperate to change her luck, Leila turns to a tarot card reader, who predicts her curse is about to end and she's about to meet her one true love. Yeah right.

Simon Cardona wakes up every morning, takes Eva to school, then goes to his job as a forensic analyst. He doesn't do anything else ever since he took custody of his sister and his fiancé left him. Why should he? Life is stable and comfortable, and Eva is happy. That's the only thing that matters.

But when Simon bumps into Leila at a local coffeeshop near the courthouse, everything changes. Simon can't get the curvy redhead out of his mind, even more so after they bump into each other again and again. Leila is also attracted to the bespectacled scientist, and begins to wonder: Could the cards actually be right?

Perfect for readers who love witty romantic comedies, contemporary romance, unexpected meet-cutes, career-driven heroines, smart STEM heroes, and a little fate sprinkled into their love stories.

Tropes: small town (Southern), found family, he falls first, single "parent", disability rep, plus-size FMC, & more
