Next of Kin by Hannah Bonam-Young

Home wasn't what either of them expected—it was the family they built together.

When both fail to meet separate Child Protective Services requirements, they're offered an unusual solution: move in together under a pilot program so they can qualify as guardians. Though they clash from the start, their shared devotion to their siblings slowly transforms their reluctant partnership into something much deeper.
