Playing House

Dominic Bennetti doesn’t do messy. Not in his home, not in his life, and definitely not in his love life—if you can even call it that. As a single dad with a color-coded schedule and a penchant for control, he’s sworn off distractions. But then there’s her. Sienna Blake. His quirky, too-young, too-loud, too-chaotic neighbor. She bakes her heartbreaks into cookies, hums off-key in hallways, and somehow waltzes into his life with paint-splattered jeans and a smile bright enough to rival the sun. She’s everything Dom isn’t, and he’s absolutely sure she’s everything he doesn’t need. She’s chaos. He’s order. But the problem? She’s also irresistible. Sienna also has one big secret, one that might derail any chances of them finding a happily ever after. What starts as late-night babysitting and neighborly kindness turns into tension neither of them can ignore. She’s breaking down his walls one cookie at a time, but Dom’s not ready to admit what’s bubbling between them—or that maybe, just maybe, she’s exactly what he’s been missing. Because love? It doesn’t play by his rules. And Sienna? She’s about to rewrite every single one. Playing House is a sweet, spicy, and witty single-dad romance with an age-gap twist about finding love where you least expect it—like across the hall, with a plate of cookies in hand and a wicked smile on your face. Perfect for fans of witty banter, swoony single dads, and sassy women who know how to handle both chaos and carbs.
