Counting the Days by Laura Chinn

A funny, heartfelt, and refreshingly honest contemporary romance about finding love, facing life's timelines, and discovering that the future you planned may not be the future that makes you happiest.

At thirty-eight, Rhea Darby is very single—and increasingly aware that nearly everyone around her seems to be moving on to marriage, children, baby showers, and family life.

Rhea has always imagined having children of her own. When she's told that her fertility could decline dramatically as she approaches thirty-nine, she decides it's time to get serious. She has less than a year to find the right man or reconsider the future she's always pictured for herself.

Then she meets Danny.

He's a handsome professional gardener who seems almost too perfect: kind, attentive, attractive, and someone Rhea can't stop thinking about. There's just one major problem—Danny doesn't want children.

Their connection is undeniable, but the future each of them wants couldn't be more different. As their relationship deepens, Rhea must decide what matters most and whether the life she's spent years planning is really the life she wants.

Sharp, sexy, funny, and deeply relatable, Counting the Days explores modern relationships, motherhood, friendship, expectations, and the complicated choices women face when love doesn't fit neatly into the plan.
