Ellie Hayes and the Himbos

A medical scare leads to life-changing developments when a recently single woman moves in with three lovable himbos in this heartfelt and hilarious romantic comedy—perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Hannah Bonam-Young. 
  Never judge a book by its cover . . . or a dude by his delts  
Thirty-something Ellie Hayes is generally prepared for the worst—living with endometriosis will do that—but when a new medical flare-up points to a possible MS diagnosis, all her careful plans fall apart. Suddenly, Ellie needs a new lease (literally) on life and unexpectedly lands on the doorstep of a house shared by a trio of collegiate beefcakes.
Grant, Alistair, and Diego are buff, beautiful, and woefully short on practical skills. But type-A Ellie thinks living with them could be just the break she needs. She’ll teach them how to adult, and they’ll help her take charge of her fitness and embrace life in all its beautifully spontaneous glory.
Bonus: Grant’s older brother Ian is the gorgeous man mountain she made out with the night she moved in. But as Ellie and Ian get closer, he feels less like a break from reality and more like an excellent life choice. Could a real relationship be possible, or will her traitorous body be a dealbreaker once again?
