A housing glitch turns Kara Kline's "two-bedroom bargain" into a one-bedroom reality-and assigns her a roommate she never asked for. Miles Mercer is quiet, controlled, and always working. Kara is determined, broke, and one deadline away from losing everything she's built. They agree on rules: no touching, no drama, and absolutely no crossing the line.Then the building renovations drag on. Their routines collide. Coffee shows up with her name on it. Groceries get shared without discussion. Late-night kitchen truces turn into laughter. And with walls this thin, every muffled sound feels personal-especially the ones that make Kara's pulse jump and Miles' restraint crack. The problem isn't that they're living together. It's that it starts to feel like home. And once Kara realizes Miles isn't just trying to survive the situation-he's trying not to want her-there's only one rule left that matters: Don't fall for your roommate.
