Three bedrooms, three roommates, one pool.
That's what Liam signed up for when he moved into Ethan's house during freshman year of college. Three years later, he's still there, soaking up the good times, wild parties, and endless laughs with his best friends. But while everyone around him seems to be thriving, Liam feels stuck, especially when it comes to love.
Ethan and Julian, the couple in the biggest room, are basically married. And then there's Morgan.
Morgan, the swimmer with a body carved by hours in the pool, spends most of his time half-naked and completely irresistible. He's athletic, confident, and, in Liam's eyes, totally out of his league. Yet every smile, every teasing glance, makes Liam's pulse race and his hope flicker.
Liam dreams of finding the kind of deep, unshakable love Ethan and Julian share. But with Morgan's mixed signals and Liam's growing frustration at striking out in the dating world, it feels like happiness is always just out of reach. Still, Liam isn't ready to give up-not on Morgan, not on love.
Sometimes, taking the leap is the only way to find out if you'll sink... or swim.

You know what really sucks? Being that couple-the one everyone calls "couples goals"-until you're not. The breakup isn't just heartbreak; it's an earthquake. Your world shatters into a million pieces, and suddenly, you're the villain in everyone's story. Your friends? Gone. Your sense of self? Shattered.
Julian knows this pain too well. He doesn't want sympathy or rebound advice. He just wants solitude. No dating. No socializing. Just time to himself.
But Owen, his overly cheerful, nosy neighbor, didn't get the memo. With his relentless texts, nonstop chatter, and curious glances over the backyard fence, Owen is Julian's personal chaos in human form.
Determined to escape it all, Julian heads to his family's secluded cabin, far from the noise of the city and from Owen. It's the perfect place to disconnect.
What Julian doesn't expect is for the cabin to become a turning point-a place where solitude leads to self-discovery, grudges give way to forgiveness, and the idea of falling in love again doesn't seem so impossible after all.
