His Stubborn Roommate

Amara Okafor has one rule: never move in with a man she hasn't vetted. Then a pipe bursts, her lease dies, and the only room in Asheville belongs to Cal Brennan — her coworker's brother, a contractor with sawdust on his sleeves and zero interest in small talk. Six weeks. One cabin. Two people who have sworn off love. It should be simple. But Cal fixes things without being asked, Amara feeds him things he can't pronounce, and the kitchen at 5 a.m. starts feeling less like a battlefield and more like something neither will name. When an old flame dangles a job three states away and Amara's pastry dreams demand a city she's never lived in, staying becomes the scariest option of all. A slow-burn, steamy BWWM romance about two stubborn hearts learning that home isn't a place — it's the person who stayed.
