Their single hookup over a year ago was a mistake not so easily forgotten. They’ve both—silently and separately—agreed to keep their distance. Not an easy task when Emory can't stop thinking about the taste of his mouth. Or what his body feels like pressed to hers. When a rogue winter storm traps them together with no power or heat for days, they're forced to confront their one time together…and come out on the other side in a roommates-with-benefits arrangement, a complication Emory finds impossible to resist. What was supposed to be no strings sex quickly morphs into late night gaming, inside jokes, and wing eating contests…and something that feels suspiciously like real friendship and real feelings.
