Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of *Practice Makes Perfect* comes a special expanded edition of *The Temporary Roomie*—a sharp and heartwarming romantic comedy about embracing life’s surprises, now featuring a brand-new chapter.

Jessie Barnes has always been in control. As the owner of Honeysuckle Salon, she’s used to keeping things organized, but now, in the final months of an unexpected pregnancy, everything feels overwhelming—especially when a plumbing disaster forces her out of her apartment. With nowhere else to turn, she reluctantly accepts help from Dr. Drew Marshall, her best friend’s brother and the last person she ever wanted to rely on.

Jessie already has a low opinion of Drew after calling him out for his arrogant behavior, and every attempt he’s made to change her mind has fallen flat. When he agrees to let her stay with him during renovations, there’s a catch—she has to pretend to be his girlfriend for a series of work events. For the sake of her brother, Jessie agrees, and if she can make Drew’s life just as difficult as he’s made hers, all the better.

But as their playful rivalry turns into something more, Jessie faces an even bigger dilemma. With her baby on the way, she must decide what she truly wants—and whether taking a chance on the unexpected might just lead to something real.
