Four years were supposed to make it easier to forget him.
Lila Bennett is back-smarter, sassier, and starting the grad program of her dreams. What she didn't plan on? Her brother's former scrawny best friend becoming her new roommate... and a dangerously irresistible distraction.
Noah Carter isn't scrawny anymore. He's the tattooed, swagger-filled star shortstop everyone on campus adores-and the one man she's absolutely forbidden to want. To her brother, he's family. To Lila, he's trouble wrapped in muscle and smirks.
In their too-small apartment, lines start to blur, banter sparks into chemistry, and long-buried tension ignites. But with secrets, loyalties, and old wounds simmering beneath the surface, falling for him might cost her everything.
She was always off limits.
