Cool for the Summer

By: Waters, Elle

"We're roommates with benefits," I offer. "Taking advantage of our mutual attraction for a mutually beneficial arrangement. For the summer."

Donovan

When my honeymooning best friend asks me to abandon my beloved Manhattan to house sit for him in Rosedale, Connecticut, I plan to use my small-town summer to finish my unfinishable play. Until it turns out the house was double-booked, and I suddenly have a roommate for the summer. Honestly, Beck's not so bad-he's either sunning in a Speedo or baking cookies that taste like my childhood-but how can I get any work done with that kind of distraction?

Beck

After dropping out of law school, I need to figure out my next act, but I'd rather procrastinate by the pool while house sitting for my cousin. I wasn't expecting company, but I'm happy to share, especially since Donovan is as hot as the pavement in July. He seems to be into me, too, but I don't do one-time hook-ups and he's definitely not in the market for a boyfriend.

So we make a deal. Two months. Roommates-with-benefits. No strings.

But as summer wears on, our arrangement feels more like a relationship than some of the relationships I've been in, and it's clear I'm not getting out of this with my heart intact. I'm not only falling in love with Donovan, I'm also falling in love with Rosedale. Will I be able to leave Rosedale, and Donovan, behind?

Cool for the Summer is a stand-alone, slow burn, roommates-to-lovers, summer fling story with a dash of cookie baking and plenty of sweet and steamy small-town goodness.
