Maggie James is thirty-one, freshly dumped, and emotionally scorched.
Losing her relationship also cost her the apartment and the business she built with her ex. Now she’s broke, unmoored, and answering a roommate ad from a total stranger.
A stranger who turns out to be a neurodivergent werewolf with a detailed lease agreement… and a legally binding cuddle clause.
Roman Velasquez likes quiet, structure, and his Good Plate.
He’s used to living alone—until pack politics force his hand. To avoid being mated off for supernatural convenience, Roman needs to convince his Alpha that he’s already claimed. He panics, blurts out a lie, and suddenly he and Maggie are fake-mated, cuddling after full moons, and trying very hard not to catch feelings.
It’s just a roommate agreement. Just magical paperwork. Just a fake relationship to stop a supernatural power grab.
They both know the rules.
Don’t touch the plate.
Respect the schedule.
No falling in love.
Too bad they’re already breaking all of them.
