5.0

No strong representation of diverse characters or minority identities.

Safety Rating: Safe with Exceptions

• No cheating
• Does have OW drama
- Ex-fling of the Hero's (from before he first met the Heroine) comes back looking to date the Hero. He quickly shuts her down.
• Does have OM drama
- Heroine's ex-husband attempts to sabotage the relationship between the MCs
• Does have the Heroine pushing the Hero away
• Does have an 18-month separation (both celibate) 


Possible Triggers: Yes

• Reference to grooming
• Gaslighting
• Toxic parental relationship
• Hero was unaware he had a daughter for nine months of her life
an associate at the management firm he was with was in charge of his cellphone and decided not to tell him that the Heroine reached out to tell him she was pregnant. In fact, this associate went so far as to impersonate the Hero and say he didn't want to be involved.



Ending:
HEA
