roommates; will smith
MARLEY MARLEAU has never been dealt the best hand.
She's never known her father, and when her mother dies, Marley is left with nowhere to go and no one to turn to...until her uncle, Patrick Marleau, offers her a place to stay in his guesthouse.
It sounds like the perfect fresh start.
There's just one problem: she isn't the only one living there.
WILL SMITH is San Jose's newest and shiniest rookie, fresh out of Boston and determined to make a name for himself in the NHL. The last thing he needs is a roommate-especially one who is sad, stubborn, and completely capable of cockblocking every ounce of fun out of his life.
Marley doesn't want a roommate.
Will definitely doesn't want Marley.
But living under the same roof has a funny way of blurring the lines between annoyance and attraction.
And when the one person Will was supposed to stay away from starts becoming the one person he can't stay away from, their little guesthouse arrangement might turn into something neither of them saw coming.
