The Keep-a-Man Plan

She’s built her life around flipping apartments. Now she’s wondering if she can renovate a man.

Estelle is one of the top real estate agents in Manhattan—and completely, utterly alone. After years of closing deals and climbing ladders, she’s starting to wonder if there’s more to life than marble countertops and skyline views.

Enter Tyler: coaching a group of young kids in Central Park, kicking a soccer ball around, and accidentally knocking Estelle on the noggin with the ball in an embarrassing meet-cute.

He’s charming. He’s kind. He’s quirky. And he’s…well, different.

Tyler sees the world through a lens that Estelle doesn’t fully understand—but that might be what draws her to him in the first place. He lives with a roommate. He’s refreshingly earnest. And while Estelle is all sharp lines and polished finishes, Tyler is something else entirely: a fixer-upper with truly good bones.

Determined to figure him out, Estelle makes a plan—the same way she’d approach a dated brownstone or a studio with potential. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that some things don’t need changing. Some things aren’t broken—they’re just built differently.

And maybe the person who really needs renovating…is her.

A funny, heartfelt romance about expectations, acceptance, and falling in love with someone who challenges everything you thought you knew. Perfect for fans of Katherine Center, Emily Henry, and anyone who believes that love isn’t one-size-fits-all.
