Pucking My Grumpy Roommate

I accidentally sexted a stranger. Now I’m living with him.

The texts were supposed to be anonymous.
Fun. Filthy. Harmless.

Until I found out the man on the other end was Austin Callahan—hockey’s grumpiest golden boy... and my new roommate.

Thanks to a housing disaster, we’re stuck under the same roof.
He’s all strict routines and broody silences. I’m a caffeine-fueled microbiologist with a love of chaos and zero chill.

But the tension between us? It’s combustible.

Those messages weren’t just hot—they were honest. He saw parts of me no one else does. And now that I know who he is… I can’t stop wanting him.

Living together wasn’t the plan.
Falling for him definitely wasn’t either.

But late-night laughter turns into something deeper. Quiet moments blur into heated glances. And what started as a temporary arrangement becomes the one place I feel like I belong.

Then a trade deal threatens to rip him away—and suddenly, I’m not just afraid of losing our home. I’m afraid of losing the only person who’s ever truly seen me.
