Unreasonably Yours

Toni’s ex didn’t expect her to say no—especially not in front of thirty people and a Christmas tree. But when a very public proposal explodes her relationship, her social circle, and her housing situation all at once, Toni Devereaux does the only thing that makes sense: she runs.

Now, armed with a sad box of art supplies and a six-month sublet in Somerville, Massachusetts, she has no plan and every intention of keeping her distance. She's been called a hurricane—too much, too loud, too complicated—and for the first time, she’s starting to believe it might be true. She doesn’t know what’s next, only that it needs to be hers.

Cillian O’Sullivan doesn’t do hurricanes anymore. These days, he keeps things quiet: run the family bar, play some music, and keep the past where it belongs. But when Toni barrels into his orbit—beautiful, restless, and far too perceptive—his silence starts to feel suffocating.

So he makes a bet: he can make her fall in love with the city. If he loses, he’ll help her move anywhere she wants—even if it means letting her go.

Toni takes the deal. But as days turn into weeks and their connection deepens, she realizes it’s not just Cillian she’s falling for—it’s the city, the community, and the messy, imperfect life she’s slowly building for herself.

Unreasonably Yours is a raw, funny, and deeply tender contemporary romance about found family, emotional risk, and falling in love—not just with another person, but with the life you didn’t think you deserved.

You don’t have to belong to someone to belong somewhere.
But it’s nice when both happen at once.
