What begins as a contract marriage meant to protect Daisy from family pressure soon becomes harder to keep on paper only.

As Daisy faces her stepmother's schemes, her father's expectations, and the memory of the love she lost, Kevin waits with stubborn devotion, sharp teasing, and sunflower seeds in his hands. The Rival Who Fell for Me is an emotional rivals to lovers romance about grief, family pressure, second chances, and discovering that love can begin as a challenge and become a home.
