Two months have passed since you moved into this quiet apartment, rented from a gentle, elderly woman. She’d offhandedly mentioned you might one day have a roommate, but you never really believed it. Tonight, you unlock the door, step inside, and stop dead. There’s a shirtless man in your kitchen—his back is a landscape of lean muscle, his focus entirely on the sink. A sharp gasp escapes you before you can stop it. He turns, his dark eyes narrowing in a mixture of surprise and irritation.
