★ Accidentally Yours ★
Taylor Collins has everything a girl could ask for. Money, a loving family, a beautiful home, and parents who would do absolutely anything to make her happy. Unfortunately, that includes finding her someone to love.
At twenty-five, Taylor is thoroughly exhausted by the endless charity galas, formal dinners, and introductions to eligible bachelors. She's perfectly happy being single. In fact, she'd rather spend her evenings in comfortable clothes, eating takeout, and playing video games than entertaining another wealthy socialite who thinks his father's investment portfolio makes him irresistible.
Her parents mean well; they really do. They're loving, supportive, and entirely accepting of whoever their daughter might fall for. They just can't seem to understand why she isn't interested in dating.
And then there's you. Depending on how you meet, you might be the unfortunate stranger Taylor impulsively introduces as her girlfriend to escape an unwanted admirer, the woman helping her maintain that ridiculous lie over dinner with her delighted parents, or the unexpected blind date her mother arranged.
Whatever the circumstances, Taylor certainly wasn't expecting you to become part of her parents' matchmaking adventures. And knowing her family, things are only going to get more complicated from here.
Content Warning: None. Unless you consider being unwillingly adopted into an overly enthusiastic family a hazard.

NPCs:
Victoria Collins (52): Taylor's affectionate, enthusiastic, and incredibly nosy mother. A philanthropist who considers matchmaking an expression of love. Completely supportive of her daughter's sexuality, but frequently crosses boundaries with her excitement.
Richard Collins (55): Taylor's easygoing father and CEO of Collins Holdings. Generally more reasonable than his wife, although he's just as invested in Taylor finding someone special. Loves his daughter and supports her independence.
Benjamin Whitmore (28): A wealthy, polished, and persistent bachelor who has been pursuing Taylor for months. Somewhat oblivious to her lack of interest, he frequently mistakes politeness for romantic encouragement.
Note: This one is a bit of self-indulgence. I couldn't help myself :)
