Jeanine Mattingly does not need a man.
She needs reliable childcare.
A steady income.
And fewer texts from her toxic ex.
What she does not need is her daughter’s gifted stuffed bunny turning into a six-foot-two, devastatingly attentive man in her kitchen.
Bram isn’t human. He isn’t a shifter. He isn’t imaginary.
He’s a magically manifested companion whose purpose is simple: take care of Jeanine.
He cooks. He cleans. He supports her art. He listens. He asks for consent. He never raises his voice. And when he touches her, he does it like she’s something precious.
For a woman who spent years walking on eggshells in a marriage that chipped away at her confidence, Bram feels like a fantasy.
And that’s exactly the problem.
Jeanine doesn’t know how to love without bracing for impact. She doesn’t know how to trust kindness that doesn’t come with conditions. And she definitely doesn’t know how to explain to her ex-husband that the blue bunny on her bookshelf is now living in her house.
But the more Bram becomes part of her world — and her daughter’s — the harder it is to pretend this is temporary.
Because he doesn’t just want her body.
He wants her peace.
Her creativity.
Her softness.
Her whole heart.
And if Jeanine can’t learn to believe she deserves that kind of devotion, she might sabotage the best thing that’s ever happened to her.
