The Roommate Promise by Penny Heart

A change in plans…
Dani’s close friend, Vanessa, is having her second child, which leads her to rethink her life. At 33, her biological clock is ticking, and she realizes her on-again/off-again boyfriend isn’t really husband and father material. She’s stuck, though, because she and Beau depend on each other financially. Then she uncovers a secret that makes living with him impossible.

…Opens doors…
Since she can’t afford to live alone, there’s no other choice than to move back in with her parents. Then her old friend Jake offers her the spare room in his house. Jake was her childhood best friend until she went off to pursue her dreams, and he joined the army, fell in love, and had a whole new life she knew nothing about. Even though they’ve drifted apart, he promises she can trust him to never make a move; she’ll always be safe with him.

She never would have imagined.
They rebuild their bond quickly. No one ever got her the way Jake does, and she brings much needed light to his life. Dani always viewed Jake as the brother she never had, but not anymore. Her burgeoning feelings for Jake aren’t exactly sisterly, but she tries to ignore them. She’s dealing with drama, and Jake’s reeling from a broken engagement. It’d be a terrible idea to ruin one of the few stable things in both their lives by wanting more. But what if more is exactly what they both want and need? Jake won’t make a move, so it’s up to Dani to break The Roommate Promise if she dares.
