From USA Today bestselling author Katherine Hastings comes a steamy friends-to-lovers rom-com set in Door County, where one spare room, one broken trust, and years of buried feelings make staying mad almost impossible.
He broke my heart. Then he moved into my spare room.
Matt and I were best friends for over two decades. Then he made one stupid mistake, kissed our best friend's fiancée, and blew our entire friend group apart.
Everyone else might have moved on, but I haven't. Maybe because betrayal hurts more when it comes from the man you've secretly wanted most of your life.
So when Matt loses his rental to summer vacationers and needs a place to stay, I do the sensible thing.
I lose a game of bar dice and offer him my spare room.
Now he's in my tiny Sister Bay cabin, fixing my roof, building furniture, charming my traitorous cat, and making it impossible to stay angry. Especially when he keeps taking his shirt off.
The rules are simple: he keeps his distance, stays out of my way, and absolutely does not make me want him again.
Too bad Matt has never been good with rules.
The Other Room is Book 2 in the Door Peninsula Passions series by an AUDIE Award-nominated, SOVAS Award-winning humor author. Each book stands alone with its own HEA, but recurring characters and a continued timeline make the series especially fun to read in order.
