Falling in love was not on Allison Lawson's list of immediate plans. As an experienced assistant director, she had everything planned out. She didn't like surprises. So when she arrived at the apartment she had just rented, the last thing she expected to see was a roommate. Especially a tall and muscular one. Shane Garrett returned to Brooklyn. After his parents died five years ago, he moved to take care of his younger sister. But now she's gone to college, and he's ready to return to the bachelor life he used to lead: his own place, a cooler full of beer, and a new woman every night. But this did not include the unexpected appearance of a sexy brunette in his soul. He hasn't even invited her to dinner yet. Now Ellie and Shane share a one-bedroom apartment and make eyes at each other. No one can deny the sparks that fly between them, but a relationship is not on Ellie's agenda. Can Shane convince her that love can't be planned?
