Best Offer Wins by Marisa Kashino

Margo and Ian are trying to buy a house. But the housing market in DC is extremely tight and their offers keep getting rejected. They also want to have a baby but there's not room in their tiny apartment for another human being, so that dream is deferred until they can find a house. Then Margo finds out about a beautiful house that is being sold but is not yet on the market. And she is determined to get that house. Just how far she will go is the subject of this twisty tale.
