She's only got one thing on her mind, but all he can focus on is her.



Ivy league grad student, Carleigh, is beautiful, blonde, and comes from money—she's way out of his league. And the last thing she wants is a distraction, even if it comes in the form of a handsome, muscular man who looks enticing in just a towel. Determined to make it on her own, and not rely on her parents' money, she falls into a life focused solely on her studies while enjoying life in NYC. But the more they get to know each other, the more their initial impressions change. Carleigh's whip smart and not a rich brat, and Bryson's funny and dotes on her when she gets sick.



Construction worker Bryson Kennedy is up for a big promotion, but he's also desperate to find a new place to live. When a mutual friend brings up Carleigh's urgent need for a roommate, he jumps at the opportunity.



Their first touch is electrifying. They can't keep their minds off one another. But they're both afraid to say anything. Will they be able to drop the shield guarding their hearts or go their separate ways when the lease is up?
