He’s barely human anymore. There’s nothing left to remind him of the straight A student, and football quarterback he once was…but he wasn’t a good person then, and he’s certainly not a good person now. He’s retreated into a world where all that exists is numbness and his passion for painting.

When Sutton Hale moves into the apartment across the hall from Caelan she’s not prepared for her reaction to him. Something in his broken blue eyes calls to her—after all she’s always had an irrational need to fix everything.

But Caelan doesn’t do relationships or feelings. He does drugs and alcohol. However, he can’t ignore his desire to get to know the raven-haired woman across the hall.

Two broken souls trying to mend one another.

But not everything can be fixed.

In the end, Caelan and Sutton will have to learn that there is beauty in the ashes.

He may even take a bullet for it.

AVIS DE RECHERCHE : COLOCATAIRE

Prérequis :

Ne fume pas. C’est dégeu.

Ne sois pas un connard. Je n’ai pas le temps de gérer tes sautes d’humeur.

Nettoie derrière toi. C’est vraiment si difficile que ça de mettre ses fringues sales dans le panier à linge ?

Si tu remplis ces conditions, appelle-moi.

Cordialement,

Recherche désespérément colocataire.

Lorsque je mets l’annonce dans le journal de l’université, je ne m’attends certainement pas à ce que la star de l’équipe de football y réponde. De ce que je sais, Abel Russo est un homme à femmes et un crétin fini. Malheureusement, il est la seule chose à pouvoir m’éviter d’être mise à la porte par mon propriétaire et son ennuyeux air guilleret.

Cela devrait être relativement simple – il n’y a aucune chance pour que nous développions des sentiments l’un pour l’autre. Mais il commence à attarder son regard sur moi, et il se pourrait bien que je lui rende ses œillades.

Tout ce que je voulais c’était un coloc, mais je suis sur le point d’obtenir bien plus que ce qui était prévu dans l’accord initial.

Description VO :

WANTED: A ROOMMATE

Requirements

1. Don’t be a smoker. That’s gross.

2. Don’t be a jerk. I have no time to deal with your mood swings.

3. Clean up after yourself. Is it really so hard to put dirty clothes where they belong?

If you meet these qualifications, call me.

Sincerely,

Desperately Seeking Roommate

When I put the ad in my university’s newspaper, the last thing I ever expect is for the star football player to respond.

From what I know of him, Abel Russo is a womanizer and an absolute jerk.

Sadly, he’s the only thing stopping me from being evicted by my annoyingly gleeful landlord.

It should be easy enough—there’s no chance we’ll fall for each other. But then he gives me lingering looks, and I might just be looking back.

All I wanted was a roommate, but I’m about to get so much more than I bargained for.

Our meet cute was simple enough.The rest? Not so much.When we met we were just Emilia and Hayden, two people crossing paths by chance. Neither of us thought we’d ever see each other again, until it turned out he lived across the hall. Our connection was innocent at first, but impossible to resist. We thought our age difference was the only thing standing in our way, until I walk into film class on my first day of university and he’s my new professor.

Lennon Wells and Beckham Sullivan should have been perfect for each other. Both vulnerable, both striving to please difficult families, and both broken by the past. Going from friends to lovers seemed inevitable. So did a bad ending. They thought―they hoped―they’d never see each other again.

Years later, bad luck or fate, Lennon and Beckham find themselves working for the same magazine. The wounds are still raw, but the chemistry is there. Then they’re forced to work together on a project. Some things never change, and all it takes is one impetuous night. One mistake. And Lennon discovers she’s pregnant.

With more in common than they ever had before, Lennon and Beckham are going to be in each other’s lives for a long time now, whether they like it or not. And they’re starting to. If only they can break from the generational traumas that hold tight and take a shot at something they never expected: a second chance.

After my divorce, I decide to move across the country away from family and friends for a new start.

What I don’t expect is him.

He’s only supposed to be a one-night stand, but fate has other plans.

The next time I see him it’s because I’m on a date with his dad.

I’ve always believed in wishing on elevens, but this time I get a little more than I bargained for by falling for a guy eleven years younger than me.

Reid is everything I shouldn’t want and everything I need.

The question is, am I willing to open my heart up to him? Or am I doomed to let my past hold me back?
