Stuck with my Guarded MVP

He’s my brother’s star player—and my unexpected new roommate.

It starts with a canceled apartment tour and one impulsive offer.
Liam Callahan has a spare room. I need a place to stay. Simple… until it isn’t.

He’s guarded, gorgeous, and completely off limits.

But he cooks like a five-star chef, while I microwave vegetables.
We shouldn’t make sense.

But our mornings start with coffee I didn’t brew.
He buys four types of milk, so I don’t have to drink my coffee black.
And his hands close over mine as he teaches me to cook

I tell myself it’s just proximity.
Just kindness.
But somewhere between “temporary stay” and candlelight dinner for two, my heart’s forgotten the rules.

But then he finds the apartment listings I left in his printer.
He thinks I’m planning to leave him.
