Some people find trouble in bars. Some people find trouble in bad decisions.
Sienna Dean? She finds trouble the second it strolls into her apartment, drops a heavy military duffel on her couch, and stares at her like she's the inconvenience.
She didn't ask for a new roommate. She definitely didn't ask for him. And yet... trouble is sitting on her damn couch-tattooed, brooding, built like a fortress, and utterly refusing to leave.

Third Place
It was only supposed to be sex. One swipe. One match. One late-night conversation that should've ended where most dating app connections do - temporary, casual, forgettable. But Silas Navarro was impossible to keep at a distance. What begins as a friends-with-benefits arrangement built on sarcasm, attraction, and blurry boundaries slowly turns into something neither of them meant to create. Somewhere between canceled plans, 3 a.m. conversations, petty arguments, comfort food, and flirtation that feels too honest, she realizes she's fallen into the worst possible situation: loving someone who never promised her anything more. Now she's stuck in the in-between - not quite a girlfriend, not quite just a hookup, and not important enough to ask for clarity without risking losing him entirely. While balancing exhausting days as a teacher, nights spent curled up with her huskies Cherry Blossom and Isaac, and a growing ache she can't joke away anymore, she keeps finding herself pulled back to Silas. Even when he disappears. Even when he frustrates her. Even when he makes her feel like she's standing in line behind everyone else in his life. Because when he's good to her, he's impossibly good. Tender. Funny. Unexpectedly thoughtful. Dangerous in the way emotionally unavailable men always are. And the hardest part isn't wondering whether he loves her. It's wondering if she's been settling for third place the entire time.
