Sheâs known since kindergarten that Leo is the one and as soon as she gets to New York, their shared future will begin. But she arrives to find out that Leo is avoiding her and has to make a deal with Leoâs grumpy but hot roommate, Thom. Itâs amazing that he can make her simmer with just a glanceânever mind that she forgets all about Leo in Thomâs presence. When she learns that Leo has dumped her for someone else, Annika realizes she has no tears to shed. Seducing Thom seems like the ideal way to make up for lost timeâbut can she persuade him that all she wants is to feel alive again?
Thom is prepared to wait for the good stuffâĻ
Heâs learned the hard way that romance on the rebound never worksâand he wonât be burned again. He never would have expected to even like Leoâs fiancÊe, much less to find Annika just about perfect. Temptation is impossible to resist: not only are they sharing a small apartment, but theyâre working together at F5F for the same two weeksâand Annika makes steady progress over his objections. Just when Thom realizes heâs falling fast, Leo tries for a reconciliation. Itâs the same story all over againâbut this time, can he convince Annika to choose a future with him?
