Bountiful Beaus

At Ms. Broussard's Home for Bountiful Beaus, even the unlovable can find a love story for the ages. The custom-made automatons she offers are fully trained in the art of keeping their homes tidy and their future husbands happy.

Arthur Price is not looking for love. The lonely librarian clings to his work and routine to keep himself functioning. When his brother, Jared, arrives in the middle of the night with an i-Series automaton meant to lift his spirits, Arthur realizes his routine life is about to be upended. Cheerful to a fault, Periwinkle is not someone Arthur would normally choose to befriend, much less enter into a romantic entanglement with, but he somehow programs himself perfectly into his life.

Miraculously, Arthur finds himself growing almost fond of the robot. Periwinkle may not possess much experience other than cleaning, but he can’t help noticing the loneliness in his librarian’s eyes. If it means giving Arthur Price a fresh start, Periwinkle is more than happy to stitch together all the pieces of Arthur’s broken heart. Whether Arthur likes it or not, Periwinkle's mechanical heart beats only for him.

The Househusband's Guide to Domestic Bliss is a cozy, dual POV, slow-burn romance about a lonely librarian and his made-to-order boyfriend.
