"When bad stuff happens, you're supposed to be able to go home. You're supposed to be able to crawl up in your mother's arms and bawl your eyes out. She'll tell you everything will be okay and then you'll eat ice cream and everything's fine again. Wait, sorry. Please excuse me while I choke on that load of bullshit." Ember Larson has lived with her boyfriend ever since she ditched her brother for him three years ago. But now, they've broken up and she has nowhere to go. Lost and alone, Ember seeks out her brother and hopes he'll forgive her. Which of course does. What Ember doesn't count on, is Parker. Her brother's roommate spells trouble for Ember the moment he enters the room, and then it's one thing after another from there. Will she resist his charm, or will the spark between them grow into something more?
