I was looking forward to my first semester of grad school until I discovered I’d be living with my new stepbrother. And not just any stepbrother—Griffin Moore, the drop-dead gorgeous starting wide receiver for the Virginia Silverbacks. He’s also my mom’s idea of the perfect roommate. However, he doesn’t want me in his space any more than I want to be here. I like my life the same way I like my men—quiet and predictable. Griffin is neither. His boisterous, larger-than-life personality makes me completely tongue-tied, and every time he smiles, my heart trips over the next beat. And the worst part? He’s secretly become the inspiration for the hero in the romance novel I’m writing, and the words are flowing better than ever. Now, I just need to survive living under the same roof as the man who makes me want to toss my rules out the window and risk everything for the love story I never planned on writing… my own. But how can I do that when taking a chance on him would be the riskiest move of all?
