Perfect Plans

About

Sofie Chen's superpower is social and emotional intelligence. When her boss at a New York event-planning firm puts Ryan Porter on her team, Sofie has her work cut out for her. Ryan is a spreadsheets-and-algorithms nerd who presents as neurologically divergent but is socially awkward because of his remote upbringing in an Arctic research lab. 

She works hard to translate his data-driven world into human connection; he's equally determined to coach Sofie on the elegance of systems, numbers, and order. 

Then a sabotaging colleague starts engineering chaos from the inside. Suddenly they're juggling eccentric clients, impossible timelines, and crises that escalate from coffee spills to full-scale convention meltdowns… all while trying to ignore the inconvenient fact that they're falling for each other.

Perfect for fans of:

  • Workplace romance where the work actually matters
  • Slow-burn tension built through shared problem-solving
  • Found family in a chaotic professional setting
  • Rom-com disasters that double as love language

A feel-good comfort read with engineering-level problem-solving, low-angst relationship development, and banter you'll want to text your friends. Low-spice, closed-door (kissing-only) romance with occasional strong language.
