Six months ago, Fallon McCann had it all: a house filled with memories, a fulfilling career, a loving fiancé, and a half-planned wedding. Now, her fiancé’s dead, her once-colorful walls have been painted over in shades of gray, and she’s packing up her life in search of a new beginning.
When the man responsible for her fiancé’s death shows up on her doorstep, she surprises even herself. She hugs him, invites him in, and then proceeds to change his life.
Jeb Baker has seen better days. Once a social, dependable paramedic with bright plans for his future, he now counts down the hours until he can retreat back into himself and shut the world away. The people closest to him have insisted the accident was not his fault, but Jeb remains haunted by the memories.
At the end of his tether and knowing he can’t turn back time, he looks to the one person in town who might understand what he’s going through. When Fallon welcomes him with open arms, he sets off on a journey to rediscover life’s simple joys.
Laughter abounds, stories spill, pinkies link, and somewhere along the way, Fallon and Jeb’s newfound friendship becomes more.
But Jeb can’t take a man’s life and then also take his fiancée… right?

November, 11 2025
Moving in with a hot stranger wasn’t how Nell Chatham thought she’d start her senior year at Sonnet University. But, when her roommates unexpectedly boot her from their dorm, and there’s an untimely mold-induced housing crisis on campus, she’s left with one option: to call the barely legible number that Bob from Housing found lodged under a stack of papers.
A month ago, Corbin McCann was in his hometown, mowing his high school ex-girlfriend’s grandmother's lawn (for free) when he caught his girlfriend kissing a man across the street. Suddenly realizing he’d been played on multiple fronts, he applied to a college in Sonnet, Virginia, to finish his graduate degree, bought a house on the Chetta River, and moved for a fresh start.
Focusing on himself seemed like a brilliant idea, but that was before he laid eyes on his new roommate.
Accidental cuddling during movie night, dancing in the dark, and listening as Nell spills her secrets become Corbin's favorite hobbies. Just as their friendship blooms and their chemistry intensifies, a class assignment thrusts Corbin as the lead in a campus-wide dating show while Nell works behind the scenes.
Corbin can’t be the man Nell deserves while fake-dating other women, but with Nell sticking around after the botched dates, lines get blurred.
