Sometimes a crown changes everything...
When her childhood best friend shows up to rent the entire second floor of her soon-to-be bed & breakfast, she has no idea he's actually a prince—or that their old falling out is about to turn into something far more complicated than a simple roommate situation.
Tahlia:
After watching all my best friends find love and move out of the Big House, I'm left alone with a huge house that requires a lot of upkeep and dreams of turning the place into a B&B.
Then Callan Irwin shows up on my doorstep.
The same Cal who was my best friend growing up.
The same Cal who broke my trust right before high school graduation.
The same Cal who apparently needs a place to stay for reasons he won’t name…
And hey, I need the money, so I hand him the contract and hope for the best.
Living with him is electrifying though he still tells terrible jokes and laughs too loud at them. But now his smile makes my stomach flip and his good looks have me abandoning reason.
But I teach junior high, and I know there's something he's not telling me.
Between our shared early-morning walks, late-night conversations about fixing up the house, and the way he takes care of me when I'm sick, he’s starting to rebuild my faith in him.
And when he looks at me in a way more friendly way than “just roommates,” I almost forget the terrible things he did to seventeen-year-old me.
We seem to be from opposite worlds, but maybe some childhood friendships are worth salvaging.
Maybe some enemies can become friends…and then more.
And maybe, just maybe, my perfect happily ever after moved upstairs when I wasn’t looking.
Now, I just have to figure out what my very handsome roommate is hiding from me…and hope it doesn’t shatter us all over again.
