And Ford may destroy my future.My heart tells me he’s innocent, but the facts tell me I’m wrong.

Liam Walsh is just a roommate.Maybe if Charlie St. James repeats it enough, she’ll stop lusting after him.

He thought it wouldn’t be a big deal to let her crash with him when she needed a place to stay, but he was dead wrong. Knowing only a thin wall separates them when they sleep, that she’s naked in the shower while he lays in bed fantasizing about her, is unbearable.When their cozy two bedroom goes from friend zone to war zone, they’ll either burn up the sheets or go down in flames.
