Leo F*cking Hernandez.
North Boston University's star running back notorious bachelor and number one on my people I would murder if I could get away with it list.
And now?
He's my new roommate.
I used to think I loved him.
But that was before I hated him.
He doesn't remember who I am or how he made my life miserable for years. And before I unknowingly moved across the street from him I couldn't have cared less. I was living my life despite him and what happened that summer chasing my dream of becoming a tattoo artist.
"The Pit " as the university so gracefully nicknamed the house he lives in with three other football players has served as nothing more than a pain in my ass and a constant reminder of the boy who broke my heart. Watching him parade his one-night-stands in and out of it never helped either.
But with rent this cheap and so close to the tattoo shop I've learned to ignore him - no matter how he's tried to get under my skin.
At least until this summer. Because when a water and mold disaster leaves me with no choice but to vacate my house I have nowhere to go. And Leo Hernandez offers me a deal I can't refuse.
Live at The Pit with him and the guys free of charge until my landlord fixes this mess.
Ignoring him was easy when I lived across the street but in the same house with him shirtless half the time and watching me with his cocky grin and searing gaze? It's impossible.
Still I have to try. I have to push him away even when he makes it infuriatingly difficult to do so.
He's broken my heart once.
I won't let him do it again.
