Two men. One apartment. Zero chance this ends without feelings. Theo Calder just wants a fresh start—one that does not include accidentally baking shirtless in a stranger’s kitchen. But when he moves into Apartment 4B and meets Damien Vale—the grumpy, hyper-organized tax attorney who also signed a lease for the exact same unit—his new beginning becomes a bureaucratic nightmare with biceps. A system glitch leaves them both legally entitled to the same apartment. The leasing office offers no solutions. And suddenly, the chaos-loving pastry chef and the emotionally repressed spreadsheet enthusiast are… roommates. Temporarily. Probably. Hopefully. To survive living together, Damien drafts a list of “reasonable” rules. Theo breaks most of them within 24 hours. What follows is a slow, excruciating, laugh-out-loud late-night baking disasters, doorways charged enough to violate building codes, accidental tenderness, confessions slipped between cookies, and a houseplant—Fernie—who seems fully aware these two men are one emotionally fraught eye contact away from combusting. But as corporate drags its feet on fixing the lease, lines blur. Boundaries melt. And the rules Damien wrote to protect himself become the very things exposing him. Because falling for your temporary roommate was never part of the agreement. But love rarely respects contracts. Perfect for fans ✔ Forced proximity ✔ Opposites attract ✔ Slow-burn queer romance ✔ Tension you can taste ✔ Found home, warmth, and emotional chaos ✔ A houseplant who absolutely judges them both
