Make Me Stay

Roommate Not Wanted I'm a forty-year-old homeowner and former detective. My friends think a roommate is the solution to my recent funk, but I know that's the last thing I need. And even if they're right, sharing my home with Cal is a bad idea. The prickly SEAL rescue diver has muscles for miles, haunted eyes, a wounded soul, and wandering feet that won't be happy for long in Safe Harbor. Yet those fathoms-deep blue eyes have me making an offer I'll surely regret. Our arrangement may be doomed, but Cal is an amazing roommate. We're soon cooking my mom's favorite recipes, watching terrible TV, accidentally cuddling, and trying not to cross the line from friendship to fling. Until I discover Cal's sexy secret. Boundaries blur, and I forget I'm not supposed to fall for Cal. Every kiss, touch, and discovery we make together pulls us deeper until there's no denying our feelings. I want nothing more than to keep Cal in town, in my bed, and in my heart, but Cal seems destined to swim back to his solo ways. Can I bear to let him go, or will our love make him stay forever? Contains mature themes.
