Archer Cruz
Cocky. Reckless. Fucks like he surfs - hard and without apology.
Different girl every week. Humour to deflect. Charm to hide.
He's called her Baby Brooks since she was ten.
She was always one of the boys.
Until she wasn't.
Remi Brooks.
Sharp mouth. Zero fear of him.
She's the only one who sees past the bullshit.
The only one who's ever calmed what he won't name.
She pushed. He pushed back. She didn't flinch.
Too young. Too close. Too much.
She turned eighteen.
And the fighting stopped being about winning.
Some lines aren't meant to be crossed.
Some are meant to be destroyed.
The undertow doesn't ask permission.
It takes.

Piper Kerrigan is fresh off a fallout with her sorority sister, a college scandal that scorched her family ties, and a sudden eviction that leaves her scrambling for a new place to live. She's just trying to stay afloat while working for event-planning royalty Savannah Monroe Remington and pretending everything's fine. So when Rowan offers up his spare bedroom, Piper is... hesitant. Because it's Rowan. Mysterious. Moody. Tattooed in ways that should not be legal. But also Rowan is safe, gay (probably), and weirdly comforting. Two single roommates. One shared space. Zero romantic expectations. They bond over caffeine, sarcasm, and their mutual hatred of Valentine's Day. But when Piper misreads a key piece of Rowan's identity, what started as a safe arrangement quickly starts feeling like a threat, to her comfort, her rules, and her no-dating-roommates policy. Because this isn't a love story built on fate or convenience. This is an anti-meet-cute. And things are about to get very, very complicated.Complete
