Oliver Camden has everything money can buy.
As the successful CEO of a fast-growing tech company, he's built his life around innovation, efficiency, and sixteen-hour workdays. Unfortunately, stress, burnout, and a spectacular anxiety spiral have convinced his board that he needs a break before he accidentally schedules himself into an early grave.
Their solution?
A wilderness retreat.
Oliver's response?
Absolutely not.
Clara Wilde has spent years helping overwhelmed city dwellers reconnect with nature. As a guide at a remote retreat center, she's patient, capable, and perfectly happy spending her days among forests, mountains, and people who actually know how to identify a tree.
The last thing she wants is another ambitious executive who treats the outdoors like a temporary inconvenience.
Especially after the last one broke her heart.
When Oliver arrives with terrible survival skills, and enough skepticism to power a small city, Clara is certain he'll be her most challenging client yet.
Then they accidentally touch.
Within hours, the Department of Soulmate Affairs confirms the impossible: Oliver Camden and Clara Wilde are soulmates.
Suddenly, the pair find themselves trapped between destiny and common sense as the Department bombards them with soulmate pamphlets, mandatory workshops, relationship assessments, and aggressively optimistic correspondence. Clara doesn't trust ambitious men anymore. Oliver isn't convinced he belongs anywhere without Wi-Fi. And neither of them appreciates having a government agency managing their love life.
But as long hikes, scenic overlooks, and unexpected conversations bring them closer together, Oliver begins to discover that success isn't the same thing as happiness. And Clara starts to wonder if people can change?and whether some risks are worth taking twice.
Can a workaholic tech CEO learn to slow down long enough to embrace the future fate has chosen for him? And can a woman who has been hurt before trust her soulmate with her heart?
Filled with witty banter, opposites-attract romance, soulmate bonds, emotional healing, fish-out-of-water comedy, wilderness adventures, magical matchmaking, forced proximity, and laugh-out-loud bureaucracy, this heartwarming romantic comedy is perfect for fans of fated mates, cozy fantasy romance, nature retreat romance, and feel-good love stories.
The Department of Soulmate Affairs series continues with another charming tale of soulmates, second chances, and a government agency that simply refuses to stay out of people's business.
