Two roommates. One off-limits crush. And zero chance of keeping things innocent.

Jace Crofton is the last man I should be calling my roommate.

I came home to Orchard Cove to recover from my life unraveling, not to shack up with the town bad boy. He’s my brother’s best friend, my painfully embarrassing first crush, and a walking red flag. Unfortunately, it’s apple harvest season—and the only available bed in town is in the room right next to his.

The arrangement is only temporary. But then Jace bails me out when my ex-boyfriend shows up, runs me a bath when I’m exhausted, and it becomes harder to resist him—and harder to leave.

The trouble is, according to my brother, Jace is forbidden.

And the more I try to stay away from him, and fail, the more I crave every stolen touch.

Now I have a choice to make: run away again, or stay and fight for the one man I’ve always wanted—even if he breaks my heart.
