Blurb:

What sucks more than being rejected by the girl of your dreams? Finding out afterward that she's moving in with you.

****

The night that Beau Martin spends with Collins Bryant is the best one of his life. He wants to repeat it. Over and over and over again. Collins, on the other hand, is all too eager cut ties when the sun comes up.

But cutting ties becomes impossible when Beau and his friend, Nessa, are looking for one more roommate in their three-bedroom off-campus apartment. And Nessa - oblivious to their history - suggests the one person that Beau knows will kill him to live with: Collins Bryant.

He should say no. He really should. But even with knowing she doesn't want him, Beau would do just about anything for this smart, artsy, and annoyingly independent girl. Including giving her the open room in his apartment-because he knows she isn't going to find another one, not this close to the start of the college semester.

But as Collins moves in and unpacks all her art supplies, all her secrets, Beau starts to wonder if maybe...maybe she wants him after all.

And maybe getting the chance to be with her is enough to risk everything. Enough to tip the hidden scales, the ones he's been keeping under wraps.
