CJ Thomas likes clean lines, clear plans, and exits he can see from the door. As a talented architect brought in to help expand Dalton's elementary school, he expects blueprints, budgets, and maybe a little PTA chaos. What he doesn't expect is Coach Jake McGrath-short, solid, relentlessly kind, and impossible to ignore.

Jake is used to wrangling third graders, rogue dodgeballs, and the occasional water balloon ambush. He is not prepared for the quiet, guarded man with sandy hair who looks like he's been holding his breath for years. CJ isn't looking for anything. Jake isn't pushing. And then Dalton-of course-gets involved.

Between folding tables, community group chats, and Martha's in case of emergency break glass plans, CJ and Jake find themselves pulled into something neither of them planned: a slow-burn connection built on consent, patience, and the kind of love that doesn't demand you become someone else.

Architecting Love and Water Balloons is a sweet, funny small-town romantic comedy full of found family, big-hearted community, and the warm comfort of a place where everyone shows up-sometimes with baked goods, sometimes with opinions, always with care.
