PigPen Studio · Book Three · Forced Proximity
Half a Summer
Available now on Amazon.
My boyfriend had two phones. I called the wrong one. Jude Mercer answered.
By the next day, my boyfriend is my ex, my name has become gossip, and the only man who shows up for me is the one I was never supposed to want.
Jude is my ex-boyfriend's roommate.
He is also brilliant, controlled, rich enough to open any door, and far too calm for a man who keeps looking at my mouth.
When the place I live stops feeling safe, Jude gives me somewhere else to stay.
One glass house.
Two bedrooms.
One wall between us.
It is supposed to be temporary. No strings. No promises. No one else. I choose when it ends.
That should make it safe.
It does not.
Because Jude does not touch me like a rebound.
He does not kiss me like a mistake.
He looks at me like he has been waiting for permission, and once I give it to him, every rule I made starts breaking in his hands.
In the hallway between our bedrooms.
At the river under the willows.
In the bed we are not supposed to share.
I thought I was using rules to keep control.
Jude Mercer was using restraint to hide how badly he wanted me.
And I am running out of reasons to leave.
Half a Summer is a spicy contemporary rom-com about forced proximity, one bed, a no-strings deal that gets too real, and a hero who has wanted her longer than she knows. Complete standalone. No cliffhanger. Guaranteed HEA.
