He builds skyscrapers. She can't find her keys in her own studio. But he's about to realize that the only thing he can't engineer is a way to resist her.
Morgana Delawago is a chaotic, paint-splattered visionary. With a career-making gallery show looming, she's surviving on forgotten granola bars and sheer panic. Fortunately, she has a secret weapon: her best friend, Arden Winchester.
Arden is a hyper-competent, thirty-eight-year-old architect who thrives on structure, load-bearing walls, and absolute control. For five years, he has quietly managed Morgana's entire existence, gutting predatory gallery contracts, paying her electric bill, and showing up with hot food at midnight. He calls it professional courtesy.
But Morgana has just realized the truth. Men who memorize your sandwich order and look at you like you're the center of the universe aren't just being polite.
Arden is secretly, catastrophically in love with her. And he's absolutely terrified of crossing the line and ruining the life he's built to protect her.
Now, Morgana is on a mission to make her stoic, relentlessly disciplined protector finally snap. But with an opportunity in Paris threatening to put an ocean between them, Arden's instinct to manage her life might just push her away forever. Will he tear down his own walls, or will he accidentally build the perfect exit for the only woman he's ever loved?
Drafting Us is a steamy, opposites-attract, friends-to-lovers romance featuring a fiercely protective hero, a brilliant but messy heroine, and a love language made entirely of acts of service.
