The Roommate Experiment

Hes been parking his motorcycle on her sidewalk for fourteen months. Shes been writing him into her novels the entire time — and she has no idea.

Leilani Grey has one rule: control the chaos.

Organized, cardigan-wearing, color-coded-planner-carrying librarian — she has built a quiet, ordered life in Starlight Cove. And she has kept it that way for fourteen months, despite one recurring act of provocation.

Despite him.

Rick Stone doesnt explain himself. Doesnt apologize. Just parks his motorcycle on her sidewalk every morning like its a promise, crosses his arms, and waits for her to come down those steps.

She always does.

When Leilani loses her apartment with thirty days notice and the only available room in town is above his tattoo shop, her carefully controlled life collides with the one person she has never managed to control herself around.

Now hes not just across the street. Hes twelve steps away.

She tells herself its inconvenient. Temporary. Manageable.

What she doesnt tell him — what she hasnt let herself admit — is that the brooding, quiet, impossibly perceptive man shes been sparring with for over a year has been showing up in her fiction. In her hero. In every scene she couldnt stop writing.

Shes been falling for him on paper for months.

The problem is, shes starting to fall for him in real life too.

Can a woman who runs from everything unpredictable survive thirty-six days with the one person who was never supposed to matter?
