About the book

One month. One bed. One rule they’ll break in every room.

Ryan is a thirty-two-year-old operations manager whose entire life runs on spreadsheets, color-coded schedules, and control. When his girlfriend dumps him—citing emotional unavailability and being “half-alive”—he panics about the mortgage and does the only impulsive thing he’s ever done: texts his best friend at midnight about the spare room.

Jules is a freelance graphic designer, part-time bartender, and full-time chaos agent who’s been in love with Ryan since sophomore year of college. He’s bi, he’s out, and he’s been through enough closeted men to know the signs. Moving in is a terrible idea. He does it anyway.

One bed. Shared showers. A bathroom door that doesn’t latch properly. And a “just stress relief” hookup that turns into the most complicated lease agreement either of them has ever signed.

Because Ryan isn’t straight. He’s never been straight. And the twelve years of mislabeled want he’s been filing under “admiration” and “bro stuff” are about to come due—with interest.

But Jules has been someone’s secret before. He’s been the learning experience, the phase, the fun experiment that ends when the lights come on. And he won’t do it again—not even for the man he’s loved since a dorm room and a pencil between his teeth.
