Taking a self-proclaimed indefinite break from men, she focuses on her dream of becoming a sous chef at the restaurant where she works. As Elyse slowly works through her heartache, a very handsome -- and definitely single -- architect moves in next door. Tyler Sullivan is mastering the art of keeping himself emotionally unavailable after the unimaginable and painful loss of his wife and newborn son. Keeping his broken heart closed, he has no intention of allowing any of his string of meaningless trysts to turn into something more. But then his job takes him to a new city ... with an unbelievably stubborn and sexy chef next door. Even though Elyse finds herself drooling a little whenever he's working outside shirtless and Tyler unintentionally stares too long at her long, tanned legs, they become friends. He makes a few improvements on her house in exchange for good food and easygoing conversation. But as their friendship brings them closer, revealing personal loss and heartache, will they continue to ignore their strong and undeniable attraction and keep their hearts closed to new possibilities? Because if their hearts aren't involved, then they can't feel pain, right? Beautiful cover by: Thegraphicdistrict on Instagram!

| COMPLETED | Highest Ranks: #1 in Teen Fiction (06/11/17) & #1 General Fiction (07/22/17) | When Amaya receives an acceptance letter to her dream college, she is ecstatic. It has been her dream for as long as she can remember to follow in her father's footsteps of graduating top of her collegiate class. She has been working her whole high school career to be chosen for a scholarship to the university, so when she received it, Amaya thought it would all be smooth sailing from there. It truly was going well until her roommate jumped ship...well schools, and dumped all costs on her. To avoid getting a job that would distract her from her studies, Amaya decides on renting out the other bedroom in her apartment to split the costs and save some money. Poor Amaya didn't know when she made this decision, that a smooth-talking and annoyingly attractive, football player could be just as distracting, if not more, than employment. ***************************** Theodore Thompson, or as he liked to be called Theo, is a hot shot football player quickly climbing the charts and earning many of the NFL scout's watchful eyes. He could care less about morals, or even schoolwork. But for some odd reason Theo does care about good financial opportunities and saving money. So when a flyer goes up advertising an exceptional deal on a nice apartment, he goes for it. Unfortunately, at the time, Theo didn't know that getting a roommate came along with such an amazing arrangement. Cover made by: WinterFeels_
