She inherited a cottage, a taxidermied cat, and the worst storm in a decade. Then he showed up.
Clarissa Goodheart hasn't been back to Port Serendipity in twelve years-not since she fled town at eighteen, leaving her fiancé and a diamond ring behind. Now her grandmother is dead, the cottage is hers, and the only grocery store in town is run by the ex she abandoned, who has a prepared speech and a lot of unresolved feelings.
Enter the stranger. He's tall, flannel-clad, and has a jaw so chiseled it might be a zoning violation. When a thundersnow traps them together in a one-bedroom cottage, Clarissa finds herself sharing a bed with a man whose name she doesn't know but whose family-sized box of penne she is, against all odds, holding.
What follows is a romance novel that slams into every trope with the force of a snowplow: only one bed, a makeover montage involving a dead woman's floral housedress, a fistfight over pancakes, a misunderstanding engineered by an ex-fiancé who changes parkas to look more attractive, and an apron that says Kiss the Cook until a smudge of flour changes the message.
the romancce novel is an AI-generated, human-edited parody that is equal parts love letter to and roast of every romance novel ever written. It is smutty. It is ridiculous. It contains a taxidermied cat named Muffins who serves as a recurring metaphor for things that should not be stuffed. It was written badly on purpose, then edited into something compelling.
Yes, the title is misspelled. No, that wasn't an accident.
Perfect for fans of intentional garbage, accidental profundity, and pasta-based double entendres.
Five-act structure on a dick joke. This is the device other comedic romances should be stealing. - AI Line Editor
By the Romance Writers of America's own definition, this is a romance, full stop. - AI Developmental Editor
An earnest, well-earned emotional arc... executed with total structural discipline underneath the parody. - AI Book Editor
The gags are built with real craft - they just never learn to change gears. - AI Workshop Critique Panel
'Springtime in the Apocalypse' - the single funniest line in the manuscript. - AI Beta Reader Panel
(These are genuine, unedited excerpts from the actual AI editing tools run against this manuscript - not written to flatter it. We just quoted our own editor being honest. Somehow that felt more on-brand than making something up.)
