One collapsed ceiling. One queen-sized bed. One straight roommate who might not be so straight after all.
Eli Moreno has two rules for surviving his pre-med program: stay organized, and never, ever fall for a straight guy. After his closeted ex-boyfriend treated him like a dirty secret, Eli is absolutely done being anyone's late-night experiment. So when he's matched with Tyler Lawson—a massive, golden-retriever jock who literally googled "how to be a good roommate to a gay person"—Eli figures his heart is perfectly safe. Ty is chaotic, messy, and entirely straight.
Ty Lawson is just trying to keep his scholarship and survive his classes. He's perfectly fine sharing an apartment with his neat-freak, hyper-focused roommate. But when the ceiling in Ty's bedroom caves in, he's forced to crash in Eli's queen bed. It's just temporary. It's just practical.
Until Ty wakes up wrapped around Eli, his body reacting in ways that are definitely not platonic.
Soon, the eighteen inches of mattress between them evaporates into midnight confessions, accidental touches, and a suffocating tension that Ty can no longer ignore. He's feeling things he's repressed for years, and Eli's sharp mind and careful hands are breaking down every wall he's ever built. But Eli refuses to be kept in the dark again, and Ty is terrified of the daylight.
If Ty wants to keep the best thing that's ever happened to him, he'll have to stop hiding and finally claim the man he loves—loudly, proudly, and on purpose.
