Book Synopsis

A cozy rom-com about a grad student forced to live with the exasperating (and detestably handsome) grandson of her elderly roommate--"the perfect romance to curl up with and fall head-over-heels into" (Clare Gilmore, USA Today bestselling author).

Sabrina is too busy with grad school and her job as a library page to think about dating. Until her elderly roommate Marcia invites her grandson Adam to move into their two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan temporarily to "find himself." Sabrina doesn't mind sharing the small space with Adam, but she's not expecting to fall for him herself.

Adam is not only gorgeous--he's kind, funny, and shares her love of reading. After one too many accidental midnight rendezvous in the bathroom (him shirtless), the tension between them is hotter than ever.

But they're not the only ones feeling the heat. After Marcia has a health scare, her doctors advise that one of her younger roommates must go.

In a comical and sexy battle to prove who deserves to stay, the two pull out all the stops. All's fair in love and real estate, but victory is not so sweet when winning the apartment could mean losing each other.

Review Quotes

"This forced-proximity romance is a cozy homage to intergenerational friendships, New York City, romance novel fandom, and grand gestures. As romantic leads, Adam and Sabrina are compelling, and the occupational and financial uncertainty faced by single 20-somethings is very real, but readers might just find that the secondary story of Marcia's foray into senior dating on the apps is what they stick around for. A sweet and sexy love letter to readers."--Kirkus, starred review
