You have to be pretty desperate to consult someone referred to as the Drunken Psychic for insight into your perennially single status.

But that’s me...
• Working in a bakery despite dreaming of culinary school.
• Hanging out with my happily married friends and trying not to be gut-twistingly jealous.
• And renting a blissfully sweet one-bedroom apartment on the banks of a river that has been a much-needed refuge.

Until now.

Because tonight, after trying to make heads or tails of the psychic’s mysterious pronouncementsq

A very naked, very muscley, very handsome man.

𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐈 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐭 𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐝?

And things only get more confusing from there. We have a whole conversation, in which he reveals that he’s the star center for the Wilcox Wombats hockey team, Rock Stevens. And that Rock is actually his real name. And that he’s in town for a week for an all-star pickleball tournament. And that my apartment is actually his apartment.

And then he refuses to leave. Things only get more confusing from there.

As we try to navigate our sudden forced-roommates situation while the landlord gets to the bottom of the mixup, Rock decides to turn the tables. Instead of being annoyed that I’m in his apartment, he suddenly becomes charming. Sweet, even. And even though I know it’s a mistake, he charms me right up onto the kitchen counter, and… well, you can imagine the rest.

Author Bio

I’m USA Today Bestselling author Delancey Stewart. My contemporary romances run the gamut of settings and setups, but they always deliver humor, heart and heat. It’s a guarantee.

I write from my home in Denver, CO, where I manage a household full of boys and men. Okay, only one man. The hubs. But two boys. I mean, three if you count the hubs. (You see why I do words and not numbers. I was told there’d be no math in this bio. Someone lied.)

I grew up in California and have had more jobs than anyone on earth (personal trainer, pharmaceutical rep, copywriter, tech writer, marketing director, wine seller, elementary school teacher… I’m not kidding. The list. It goes on.) But the one I love the most is writing, in part because I get to meet people who love books and stories as much as I do!
