The apartment has one bathroom, one alarmingly small hallway, and a list of rules he wrote himself. Every one of them is about to become negotiable.

Nora Bennett has ninety days to save her career, nothing in her price range, and exactly one very bad idea. The spare room belongs to Jack Rourke, the growly, impossible chef whose restaurant she has just booked for the most important wedding of her life. He communicates in grunts, burnt toast, and the particular silence of a man who would like everyone to leave. She has a planner with a tab for everything, an unshakeable good mood, and a habit of narrating her feelings to his cat.

She has been told her whole life that she is too much. Too loud, too bright, too eager. He has spent his convinced he ruins soft things. Living on top of each other was supposed to be temporary and unbearable, and it is, right up until they work out that hating each other is exhausting and wanting each other is very much worse.

The Roommate Situation is Book One of Harbor City Hearts, a series of spicy romantic comedies about a big-city friend group, the tropes they keep falling into, and the people who love them at full volume.

Perfect for readers of grumpy-sunshine banter, forced proximity, one bed, and a hero who grovels properly. Open door, high heat, and a happily-ever-after guaranteed.
