The Roommate Pact: A Novel

All the fun, none of the heartache — as long as they stick to the agreement.

The pact is simple: if ER nurse Claire Harper and her roommate, firefighter Graham Scott, are still single by forty, they'll take the plunge together. As friends. With benefits. It seems perfectly safe — she's unlucky in love, he's in no rush to settle down, and there's absolutely no way she could fall for a thrill-seeker like Graham. Not after everything she's been through.

Then things start heating up well before the deadline.

When Graham is seriously injured in a rock climbing accident, Claire steps in to help him heal — which means moving into his space, putting up with his tiny dog who has decided she is the enemy, and spending far too much time in dangerously close proximity to a man she was never supposed to want.

No strings. No feelings. No forever.

Except keeping "for now" from turning into "forever" turns out to be a lot harder than either of them planned.
