About this audiobook

Her former one-night stand is now her roommate. Oops. When electrical engineer and depressed plushie enthusiast Rose Pang decides to go out alone one evening, she certainly doesn't expect to meet easygoing landscaper Cal. They spend an enjoyable night together, and the next day, romance is on her mind. Cal promises to text . . . but he never does. Hurt, Rose tries her best to forget about him. But several months later, in a terrible twist of fate, Rose discovers that her new roommate, Caleb Dempsey, is actually her former one-night stand. He claims he lost her number when his phone got run over. Rose isn't buying his lies, and Cal offers to find another place to live as soon as he can. After a few weeks, however, she starts to like having Cal as a roommate-he does all his chores, plus he's a fun and calming presence-but she swears nothing will happen between them. Except her feelings for him grow as they spend more time together. Can she risk giving him another chance, especially when her mental health is a little fragile? If it goes badly, she'll also lose a great roommate. Maybe it would be safer to try dating someone new . . . Contains mature themes.
