𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒓𝒃: 

He’d never known anyone with as much baggage as him until she came in with five suitcases, a broken heart, and a big secret that could change everything.

Stevie Winters is back at Driscoll after a semester hiatus with no friends, no boyfriend, and a new roommate: Levi Clarke, a sweet yet brooding musician. Though eager to move on from her past, Stevie harbors a secret she can’t hide from her new roommate much longer. When Levi invites her out one night, everything changes. Suddenly, they grow closer, but underneath his soft exterior lies something dark and exciting. Stevie wants to learn more about him, and when she does, the line between roommates and something more becomes blurry.

Levi Clarke has four best friends, a good job, and a major that allows him to pursue music. But what he’s missing is someone to split his rent. Scared to lose his place, he says yes to a student desperately needing housing. Levi doesn’t know what to expect, but it isn’t a girl with seventy-style clothing and a sweet smile. One night, Levi learns about a secret his roommate has been hiding, leading him to help Stevie overcome her past by completing her semester bucket list. But through this adventure, other secrets come to light. Will Stevie’s discoveries scare her, or will she believe Levi’s promises?
