I Was Only Supposed to Be a Roommate

Simone Evans is smart, driven, and on a full scholarship at Georgia State University, working toward a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. But brilliance doesn't pay the rent, and when her mother disappears into a haze of addiction, leaving an eviction notice in her wake, Simone's carefully balanced life begins to crumble.

Struggling to keep her head above water-juggling school, a part-time job, and the chaos of a failing home-Simone is forced to accept help from the one person she never expected: Marcus Green, the grandson of her neighbor a 23-year-old mechanic who's heard about her struggles but has never met her.

What begins as a temporary arrangement soon becomes more complicated than either of them anticipated. Forced proximity, simmering tension, and undeniable attraction pull them into a slow-burning, forbidden connection-one that tests their boundaries, their trust, and the walls they've built around their hearts.

But life doesn't give easy answers. Between a volatile ex, family drama, and the pressure to survive, Simone and Marcus must decide if love is worth the risk-or if it's just another thing slipping through their fingers.

I Was Only Supposed to Be a Roommate is an emotional, spicy, and unforgettable urban romance about survival, love, and finding home in the most unexpected place.
