Donโt fall for your coworkerโฆespecially when heโs your roommate.
Sutton Barnes thinks heโs Prince Charming, but heโs really the Prince of Hell.
Heโs egotistical. A user. A complete douchecanoe.
And unfortunately now my coworker.
Did I mention heโs also my new roommate?
Itโs all because I canโt turn down a challenge.
I never have, and I wonโt start now.
When Sutton bets me I canโt live in the same apartment as him and resist the โtemptationโโฆwell, game on.
Heโll be the first to cave.
There is no way Iโm falling for his charmโฆnot again.
TEASER
โWe canโt tell anyone at work weโre living together.โ
โAre you ashamed of me, Holland?โ
โYes.โ
Thereโs no hesitation in the word, and it fucking stings.
โFine. Itโs probably for the best anyway. No need to spark any unnecessary rumors. What else?โ
โWe keep it honest. If you have any inkling of desire to get into my pants, we call it.โ
โAnd if you want to get into mine?โ
She laughs sardonically. โWe really donโt have to worry about that.โ
โAny other conditions?โ
โYes, Iโm getting a cat.โ
โLike hell you are. Iโm allergic.โ
โIโm allergic to you and Iโm still letting you live here.โ She crosses her arms over her chest. โCat or no deal.โ
I grind my teeth. โIf you want a damn cat, I get the waterfall shower.โ
I see her trying to work it out in her head, deciding which one she wants to sacrifice.
โFine,โ she finally snaps, and I mentally high-five myself.
โFine. Anything else?โ
โJust that I hate you.โ She smiles sweetly, though her words are anything but.
โFeelingโs mutual.โ
Even though sheโs mad right now, I can see the flash of relief in her eyes. Deep down, she knows this is a good thing.
For at least six months, she wonโt have to worry about a roommate. Wonโt have to worry if she can afford the rent or not.
Neither of us has anything to loseโaside from our sanityโin this scenario.
I stick my hand out to her, and she sneers down at it.
โWhat?โ
โWe need to shake on it.โ
โI thought my word was my vow.โ
โYeah, but I donโt trust you. A shake will cement the arrangement.โ
With reluctance, she slips her hand into mine, and I pull her forward until sheโs pressed against me. โGame on, princess.โ
