Stef and Lena Adams have been married for ten years, building their life together in Los Angeles. Stef runs a bustling community center, while Lena shapes young minds as a middle school teacher. For two years, they've dreamed of becoming mothers, enduring failed attempts and heartbreak. When their latest round of IUI seems unsuccessful, they make a new choice: open their home to children in need through foster care.

It's a decision that changes everything.

Just as their license is approved, Lena learns she's pregnant - the miracle they thought might never come. At the same time, three foster children need urgent placement, and Stef and Lena's brand-new Bel Air Crest home - with its eight bedrooms, wide backyard, and empty halls - suddenly feels both too big and not nearly big enough.

As their family expands overnight, Stef's openness and Lena's cautious heart are tested in ways they never imagined. Between late-night feedings, homework battles, and the scars their foster kids carry with them, the Adams discover that love doesn't divide when shared - it multiplies.

The House That Love Built is a heartfelt story about hope, resilience, and the many forms family can take.

PAUL I cheated on my fiancée. Sophie and I were building our future. In love, happy, peaceful. Then she found a lump in her breast and I made the worst choice: I numbed my fear by sleeping with someone else. My worst mistake and my biggest regret. Now I see Sophie around town with him. She's radiant and laughing with people who actually show up. I'm trying to learn how to be a man who does. If she lets me, I'll spend the rest of my life proving I can choose her when it's hardest. If she lets me... SOPHIE I thought the promise was in sickness and in health. But he buried his fear in someone else. On the same night, I walked into a bookstore and meet the gentle giant owner who invites me to his book club full of misfits. I'm laughing again, I smile more than I ever have, I heal my heart. My ex says he can learn to stay, but my bookstore owner keeps showing up like it's as easy as breathing. I don't know what the future holds; I don't know if I'll win this battle against cancer, but I do know I'm done wasting time on people that love only when it's easy. CALLUM She came in to Rivers & Rhodes Bookstore and asked for books with happy endings only. I gave her a recommendation, an invitation, and an offer of friendship. Now, this beautiful brave woman is completely under my skin. I'm not here to win a competition against him. I'm here because choosing someone, second by second, is the only way I understand love.
