Clause, Clown & Ferret

A romantic comedy about a lawyer, a clown, and a ferret with a superiority complex.

Tessa Morgan follows rules. She’s got spreadsheets, color-coded goals, and a five-year plan that does not include juggling pins or rodents in tiaras.

But when a rent-controlled NYC apartment comes with a bizarre lease clause—and an even weirder roommate—her perfectly scripted life faceplants into clown shoes.

Enter Theo West: circus dropout, professional balloon animal enthusiast, and proud human to a ferret named Beyoncé. He’s chaos in cargo pants. She’s ready to sue him for emotional damage.

Forced to live together for a year or lose the apartment, Tessa and Theo strike up an uneasy truce involving labeled shelves, roommate agreements, and zero glitter. (Spoiler: There’s so much glitter.)

But the more they clash, the more the tension starts to feel... less murder-y. And more kiss-y.

Perfect for fans of slow-burn snark, opposites attract, found family, and ferret royalty.
