Accidental Romance

Hazel Cooper is a whirlwind in sneakers: an elementary art teacher whose rescue dog runs her life, whose car is always one oil change behind, and whose best friend thinks every awkward moment is "cute."

Ben Parker is her opposite in every way: a Seattle software engineer who color-codes his closet, plans his meals a week in advance, and keeps a spreadsheet of his gym workouts.

They're absolutely, positively not interested in each other.
At least, that's what they tell their friends.

But when a series of coincidences - a wedding seating chart, a broken-down car, a viral social-media dare - keeps throwing Hazel and Ben together, they start writing a tongue-in-cheek "Guide to Not Dating" to prove how platonic they are. The problem? Every chapter makes it clearer that they're terrible at not falling for each other.

Set between quirky Portland coffee shops and rainy Seattle rooftops, Hazel & Ben's Accidental Romance Survival Guide is a laugh-out-loud, slow-burn romantic comedy about opposites attracting, messy feelings, and the accidental ways two people can find exactly what they weren't looking for.
