Tim Bradford never planned on becoming anyone's backup plan, let alone a foster parent. But when a routine call puts him face-to-face with Odessa Sinclair-a sharp-tongued, guarded fifteen-year-old with nowhere to go-he finds himself breaking his own rules. Odessa has survived years of bouncing between homes, learning the hard way that trusting people never ends well. Tim isn't exactly warm, and he's definitely not asking for her trust. But in a house where silence speaks louder than arguments, they might both have to figure out what it really means to let someone stay. Found family isn't always clean. Sometimes, it's sarcastic, stubborn, and feels exactly like a liability.
