Working remote on a houseboat in Seattle sounds amazing—until it rains for four months straight. Now Robbie Price would love any excuse to get on dry land. When a co-worker who's going through a divorce suggests a house swap, Robbie can't pass up the chance to spend four weeks in a beach cottage in San Diego. All she needs to do is avoid her co-worker's ex-wife and finish a few home improvement projects.



Devyn Lancaster never expected to get divorced, but she isn't exactly unhappy about how things have turned out. She has more time to focus on being a doctor in a busy hospital and can let go of trying to be a better wife. Still, there are some things at home she'd like someone to take care of. Like basically everything she has no time to do.



Robbie Price is the last person Devyn expects to want to keep around—especially after Robbie accidentally weed whacks her pollinator garden. But Robbie makes a mean lasagna and in one weekend completes half the items on her to-do list.



Soon Devyn has to admit she likes having a temporary housebutch. And Robbie can't deny the house swap turned out to be a perfect change. Saying goodbye at the end of the month might be harder than either realize.
