The Roommate Bet

Chloe Vance has a strict rule when it comes to relationships: three months, tops. Then she hits the kill-switch and bails before anyone can get too close. It’s a flawless system that protects her perfectly curated, chaotic life.

Jade Miller is her exact opposite—calculated, infinitely patient, and the kind of woman who mentally files away her feelings in neat, locked drawers. She’s also Chloe’s best friend, her roommate, and entirely off-limits.

But when a late-night, alcohol-fueled bet turns into a fake-dating arrangement to shut up their observant, meddling friends, the careful lines drawn down the middle of their Chicago apartment completely disintegrate. What starts as an easy joke spirals into a high-stakes game of delayed gratification, fueled by razor-sharp banter and a suffocating, burning tension neither of them can ignore.

Jade knows exactly how to wait. Chloe is terrified of finally staying. But with every accidental touch, borrowed hoodie, and intentional push, they are about to find out exactly what happens when the roommate bet goes much too far.

The Roommate Bet is a high-angst, high-heat contemporary sapphic romance featuring fierce best-friends-to-lovers tension, explosive open-door spice, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
