He’s a no-nonsense businessman. She’s a free-spirited baker. But the magical building they live in seems to think they’re a perfect match…
When billionaire Archer Gaines needs to escape his father’s corrupt shadow and a related scandal, he purchases The Serendipity, a historic apartment building far from New York City.
He believes in bottom lines and big business deals, definitely not in the local folklore surrounding the town of Serendipity Springs. So he’s eager to move forward with plans to flip the building into luxury lofts.
But The Serendipity doesn’t particularly care what Archer believes, and the building has plans of its own.
Willa never believed in the rumors about her “magical” building. But that was before she walked into her closet looking for a sweater and found herself in another apartment altogether–in the penthouse closet of the grumpy and unfortunately attractive new building owner.
This is less of a meet cute than a meet ugly, and things only go downhill from there.
When Archer announces sweeping changes that include a rent increase, he becomes public enemy number one for the residents. And by charging Willa for use of the commercial kitchen, he puts her fledgling baking business at risk.
With his progress being (magically) blocked at every turn, Archer grows desperate for help.
But the bewitching woman he found hiding in his closet seems to present both the answer and a larger problem: because Archer never planned to fall in love or stay in Serendipity Springs forever …
Billionaire Archer Gaines buys The Serendipity, a historic apartment building, to escape his father’s corrupt legacy and turn it into luxury lofts. He dismisses the town’s folklore about the building’s magic—until Willa, a resident, mysteriously stumbles into his penthouse closet. As Archer and Willa navigate their growing connection, the building’s matchmaking magic works in unexpected ways.
One of the novel’s strongest aspects is its mental health representation. Both Archer and Willa struggle with anxiety, but in distinct ways, making them deeply relatable. Archer, used to control and structure, battles the pressure of expectations and a lifetime of being in his father’s shadow. Willa, on the other hand, experiences anxiety that manifests in uncertainty and fear of change. The way their struggles are portrayed with care and authenticity adds depth to their characters and their relationship. The Serendipity is a heartwarming and engaging romance, blending small-town charm with a touch of magic. The novel shines with charming characters, sweet romance, and strong mental health representation, as both protagonists deal with anxiety in different ways. Though the magical elements could have been explored more, this is still an enjoyable, heartwarming start to a multi-author series.
