She needed a place to live. He had a spare room. Neither of them counted on the rules falling apart.
Eden Cross has one plan: keep her head down, land the hospitality career she's bled for, and never again build a home someone else can take away. The plan does not survive her ceiling collapsing at 7 a.m. on a Tuesday.
It really doesn't survive Mason Hale offering her his spare room.
Mason is everything Eden has trained herself to avoid - a Lakeview hockey player with an easy grin, a worse filter, and an apparent inability to take anything seriously. Living with him comes with rules. Lots of rules. No labeling her food. No commentary before coffee. And absolutely, definitely, no catching feelings for her infuriating, far-too-observant roommate.
But Mason notices things he shouldn't. The blanket she always needs. The yes that means yes and the yes that means don't push. And the longer they share one apartment and a steadily shrinking list of reasons to stay apart, the harder it gets to remember why letting him in was against the rules.
Falling for him means risking the one thing Eden can't afford to lose again - a place that feels like hers.
Some doors are safer closed. Some are worth leaving open.
The Roommate Rule is a swoony, binge-in-one-sitting forced-proximity college hockey romance - enemies-to-roommates, a himbo-with-hidden-depths hero, and a slow burn that sneaks up on you. The perfect afternoon escape when you want all the banter, all the feels, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after in a single sitting. Book Four in the Lakeview State Hockey Romance series; fully standalone, no cliffhangers.
