The Temporary Roomie. A Novel

As the owner of Honeysuckle Salon, Jessie Barnes usually has everything managed and on track, but now in her third trimester of an unexpected pregnancy, she feels a bit lost and increasingly desperate after faulty plumbing floods her house. Unfortunately, her knight in shining armor is Dr. Drew Marshall, her best friend's brother and the man she has clashed with at every turn. Drew offers Jessie a temporary place to stay, but with a catch : She must pretend to be his girlfriend for an upcoming work event. Out of options, Jessie braces for the worst as she moves in with her nemesis. Amid playful territory wars and absurd pranks, their dynamic begins to shift, and Jessie is thrown yet another curveball as Drew turns out to be nothing like what she expected. And even worse, he seems to like her too. When their rivalry sparks a deeper connection, Jessie's future becomes even more unclear - and with a baby on the way, she'll have to make a decision soon.
